I noticed yesterday that one of my African Cichlids has a cloudy eye. He also has damage to the same side, looks like the other fish have been beating him up. I've also noticed a change in their behavior, the aggression has really gone up the last couple of weeks. I have five yellow labs, six jewels and the two "mixed chichlids", one of which has the cloudy eye. They are all in a 60g tank. Ammonia was at 0.25 ppm, pH was at 7.6, high pH at 7.4, nitrite at 0 and nitrate at 5.0 ppm. Any ideas on what could be causing the cloudy eye? Also, the yellow labs have killed 2 smaller labs that were in the tank in the last two days. I've got a Fluval FX5 filtering the tank.

The eye should heal by itself it's normally because they hit them on rocks or decor mine sometimes have it.
