I just bought a new high-tech fish tank for my betta. Its got a gravel filter and a light, its a really nice tank. Hes never had any problems and Ive had him for about 10 months. Hes been happier in his new tank. He swims around more instead of sitting at the bottom of the tank and he looks healthier. But I just went to sit on the couch (my fish is right next to the couch) and I was watching him and I noticed he had white dots on his eyes! First thing that comes to my mind is cataracts...
heres what they look like (they are on both eyes):
Completely symettrical white dots. Everything else on his eye is fine. His eyes arent bulging out and he doesnt seem to be blind (I did the mirror to him and he reacted). He doesnt seem to be sick at all. He seems fine other than the dots...
SOMEONE HELP, I love me little betta.

Kept water clean, by changing more often and get a medication from the aquarium shop that treats "Cloudy Eyes".
This is not too serious as long as water parameter is good, the medication should get rid of it in a week or two.

As said, it's properly fungus...
make sure your water parameters are in order, change water often..(i change 60% every day) and it should clear up by itself fairly soon...as a last resort, you can add some medicine, but fungus is normally the result of poor water quality.
