+Jakedoza Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I notice my tang getting a cloudy eye tonight.. it is now swimming funny as well.. I'm sure it is because it cannot see very well. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have a clown that has gone through this twice, and currently going through it again. It gets a "pop eye" with swelling and cloudiness. In all cases the swelling has gone down and the cloudiness clears up. In general I believe this is caused by a trauma to the eye (hitting a rock, a fight, etc) and will take care of itself. If you notice multiple fish with pop-eyes, or if both eyes on the same fish appear this way then I would be concerned and think that identifying the underlying cause and/or QT'ing the affected fish necessary. However, the fish is already stressed enough so I wouldn't try to move it or treat it unless you see it degrading. Watch it for a few days and see if it appears to be clearing up.

Derek Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 That happens to mine every once and a while. It usually happens if they scratch their eye on something. Usually clears up in a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
