Cloudy eyes

I've been meaning to ask this for sometime but never got round to it.

My three WC Hystrix all have kinda cloudy looking eyes.

They've been like this for months, rays are all growing, feeding etc just fine.

Water quality is very good and constant ph etc.
Daily water changes of 40-50%.

More of an observation than a concern (I hope).

What's caused me to finally put up a thread is my new pups from Awuaman have perfectly clear eyes. Anyone else have this going on or can shed any light? Many thanks

I wish I knew the cause of this as well.
I've kept several different species of Rays and my hysterix I had for 3-4 years all had cloudy eyes like yours. What's weird is none of my other Rays have ever had that.
My hystrix seemed healthy the whole time. I had a trio all three were like that.

Very interesting. Perhaps it's a trait of Hystrix then if none of your other rays had the issue. I'll be watching my new pups to see if they develop it.

Were your Hystrix WC?


Anyone like to chip in if its noticed on only WC specimens over CB?

Mine are exactly like that. That is actually one of the traits I love about these rays. Beady little eyes. Those are amazing patterned Hystrix

Thanks very much, I'm really pleased with how their markings have developed so much over time, especially the male.
