Looks like some mechanical damage to the eye and fungus on the pectoral fin.

The perctoral fin is nothing to worry about, as Silurus sais, some mechanical damage might be the most logical cause

However, the spot around the eye can be the result of a bacterial infection. In chichlid keeping a swollen eye is quite infamous, and hard to treat.

However, most likely the eye got the same treatment as the fin. Still I'd try to observe the fish on a daily basis he nest week - to acertain matters

actually I WOULD worry about the fin.

fungus kills if it is untreated. it will spread over the fish.

Could it be Lymphocystis?

It doesnt look like it is and it hasnt grown in the 10 days that its been around...

The fish are losing color though, the cloudy eyes are getting worse too
