Lantern fish can be mixed with fish of similar water needs, diet, gentle temperament, and similar size — e.g., red swordtails, molly lampeyes, checkerboard cichlids, blue rams, rainbowfish, angelfish, guppies.

A white cloudy pupil in a rabbit is usually cataracts or keratitis, both serious and hard to tell apart, needing a professional eye exam (slit lamp, eye pressure, retina, lens, tears). Cataracts are abnormal lens clouding blocking light to the retina, seen in seniors but also congenital in young rabbits; severe cases need surgery.
What are the drawbacks of the Persian cat?

What does a dog’s eye discharge look like?
Dog eye discharge is usually yellow or brown, either dry solid or moist paste. Tears contain proteins and other substances that form discharge when not fully drained. A moderate amount is normal and protects the eyes from bacteria and dust. But excessive discharge with redness, swelling, or tearing signals an eye problem needing a vet.
How can you tell a cat is normal and healthy?
A healthy cat has bright, clean eyes without tear stains, a slightly moist nose without discharge, and smooth coat without hair loss or redness. It is lively and curious; lethargy signals illness. A healthy cat eats well, and its stool is cylindrical, moderately firm, and brown-yellow. Soft or poorly formed stool suggests digestive trouble.
