Depends on if it s the whole eye, or just the pupil clouding. If it's the eye itself its a bacterial infection, if its just the pupil it's usually a pH problem. If you're going to try antibiotics start with a gram negative like neomycin. Not as strong a tetracyclin, but it won't affect your bacterial filter.

I have no idea what those chemicals our you listed but I need some help here.. the flowerhorn/ parrot now has ick as well so im using aquarosol sorry if spelling is wrong and some melaxfix in the tank??? is this enough to clear it ???
