davis101 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I rescued an aro last Sunday and it's eyes were cloudy and now there is a bubbly, cottage cheese growth looking thing on one of the eyes. I have been maintaining a 40% water change daily for the last week, but have seen no change in the fish. He is swimming around normally but not eating. Any insight on the eyes and what I can do for it. I have increased temp to 86 and added 1 tsp of salt per gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis101 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 this is what it looks like. The growth comes off the eye about a half a centimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aho1 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Just stay diligent I'd say. Give it some time and it should improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis101 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Is that growth a part of the cloudy eye or is it fungal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aho1 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Looks fungal to me. With my old aro that had cloudy eye, after a while of good water quality the gunk just sort of bubbled and fell off. Mind you mine didn't look that bad. I hope it pulls through tho. As for food try meal worms or superworms. Aros seem to love em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis101 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Yea my Asian can't get enough super worms lol. One thing the previous owner did was feed the hell out of this silver. It is really thick, so I'm too worried about him not eating for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
