Best solution for cloudy eye

Hey MFK I just picked up some large cichlid and beast datnoid. They all have cloudy eye as owner was recently on vacation and WC regimen was off and the sitter overfed. I'm wondering what the best method to try and clear these cloudy eyes? I have salt, and nitrofurazone handy. Suggestions other than pristine h20?

What more you want us to say?????????? "Oh, go grab a bunch of meds and throw it into your tank"?

Just keep the water clean, warm, and up the salt.


Just asking for advice based on your experiences. I've never had a fish develop cloudy eye under my care so this is new to me. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Krich, the previous owner left on vacation for a week and the tank was heavily overfed while he was away. I'm guessing ammonia-nitrite-nitrate spike as multiple fish have the condition in the tank. So for around about a week they've had this condition. It's a beast of a dat, around 18" plus, felt it was worth trying to nurse back to health.




I'll get pictures of the eyes tonight after I WC

Above posts pretty much nutshells it....The real question is if the eyes were cloudy long enough to be permanently damaged?

How long would you estimate that being? I know you're very experienced with datnoids.

Exactly my thoughts friend! Even if I can't clear them up I'll keep him, I don't mind a handicapped/disabled fish. It deserves a decent life too and he was for a fair price given his condition. I'll post some pictures of it in the 600 when I get home tonight.
