My ram has had a cloudy spot on its eye (Doesn't cover entire eye) since I purchased it. It is the stronger of the two rams I have, and all other fish do not display similar symptoms. The spot covers some of the eye near the middle. I have treated it with fungus clear, but nothing happened. The fish does not show signs of weakness and the spot is not enlarging. Could it just be a harmless defect in the fish?

The tank it was in at the store was about 20 gallons, only the two rams in it, lots of short, ground vegetation.

Also, the iris on the odd eye is more gold than the other eye. There is a litle line of gold color around the pupil on both, but on the eye with the spot the gold shines over much of the iris.
