digital-monk Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I noticed that one of my peacocks had the lense of the eye missing. You know the clear outermost part and it was just flat instead of curved out. I noticed on just one side, but not the other. I removed him to a quarentine tank to rest in the dark away from any other fish. I don't think it will grow back, so is there anything I can do?

Parachromis1 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Clean water. More than likely the fish will go blind in that eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rED O Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I had the same thing happen to my tiger oscar. I did lots of water changes and it went away. How bad is it? can you post a picture? it should clear up if its not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital-monk Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 It's not "bad", the eye is pretty much flat, I don't know if I would be able to capture it on a picture. It's hard to notice other than the fact that light doesn't reflect from the surface. You can't see any damage looking at it, and you have to look at an angle to see that anything is wrong. I'll do some good water changes on the 20 gallon he's in this weekend and hopefully that will stop any further issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 My protomelas spilonatus lililu 'tanzania' had an eye injury shortly after I picked him up. I left him in the tank and its healed up nicely. A couple of months back I noticed my Pelvicachromis subocellatus in another one of my tanks had a cloudy eye. He's now blind in that eye. I really didn't treat, just did my normal water changes on both of the tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
