The white spots and cloudy eyes are due to poor water quality. When was the last time you did the water change? How often do you change the water and what kind of filtration system you using?
I will suggest do at least a 40% water change and add salt 0.1% and heater (31°c). You should see improvements in about 3 days. Reduce feeding during this period. If need to medicate, I will suggest dosing aquamedic multicure. Quite useful for general infections. |

You may need to check the water parameters. Cloudy eyes are usually triggered by bad water. I second doing more water change.
Do you have another tank with established filters? Maybe you can consider seeding this tank filter with some media from there. |

I wouldn't medicate for fishes with cloudy eyes and white spots, unless white spot is very serious.
If you do large water change daily and feed less, the fishes will recover easier, then if you start medicating. Remember to siphon the bottom of the tank daily when you do water change. At our temperature, the life cycle of white spot parasite will be cleared by 7 days, and you will notice the cloudy eyes of your fish go away with just water change. |

Change your wool if any when water change, add some salt and increase the air rate and temp. Should clear within a week .
