I'm starting to wonder if I might have a case of internal parasites. A few of my neons have had a cloudy white spot on their eyes for quite some time, but it has not seemed to progress or show on all of the fish. On top of that sometimes when I feed them their stomachs look lumpy. Also, I can basically see my Ram's "poop shoot". Are these all signs of internal parasites?
 
Is the whole eye cloudy or just a white spot on the eye, any signs of salt like spots on the fish, has the neons red stripe faded as though it's looks bleached out.
Neons can get cysts on the tummy that go to a point this is ntd.
Need to no size of tank in gallons or litres, plus how many fish and which type, can you post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.
 
There is just a very small cloudy white spot in the center of the eye. There are no salt like spots on any of the fish either(if you are suggesting ich).

Funny thing is the neons colours are soo vibrant that they are even showing red on the dorsal, anal and caudal fin.

My tank is 10 Gallons (40 Litres). I have 1 Bolivian Ram and 7 Neon Tetras.

Water Parameters:

Ammonia 0
NitrIte 0
NitrAte 0-10

pH 7.8
GH 180 mg/L
KH 100 mg/L

On a side note I have had the Ram and 4 of the Neons for several months now, and just recently introduced 3 more to their school.

Thank you for your response Wilder. :)
 
You could have eyes flukes as that shows it's self as specs of white on the eye.
