I've had an EBJD for about 6 weeks. He's about 14 weeks old and doing ok. Well so I thought. He's been in a community tank but recently moved him into a 29 with a Royal plec. There both under 2" and will be moved into a 75 hopefully.
My problem is I think my ebjd is blind. When he was in the community tank I couldn't observe him that well but since he has moved I've noticed that he can't see food unless its right in front of his face and when he strikes at it he still misses!!! I've fed him frozen bloodworm by hand and kinda taught him a spot in the tank where I put sinking cichlid pellets. It's like feeding a baby!!! I just need to know what you guys think. Will he have to be in a tank on his own forever and will I have to baby feed him all the time?? Will he live? I've just noticed that his eyes have started going cloudy as well. Any help would be great.
Thanks
