Hey guys
My leo's eyes are a bit cloudy. She didnt eat this morning. All of the other fish and rays are fine and eating. Do you know what this could be? Im really worried and I would hate to have something happen to her.
I'll check the water when I get the chance, Im currently not home.
Thanks!
 
Pictures would probably help
I included a picture of my hybrid to show how the other 2 rays eyes were. The marble's eyes arent cloudy either, he was facing the back so I couldnt get a good shot of his eyes.

Occasionally in the past my female marble has gotten one cloudy eye like that or maybe a little worse one specific time. Not sure what the cause was, water quality checked out ok for me then. Possibly irritated from hitting something, or stress. I added salt each time I saw it, and it cleared up within a couple days.

Hope this helps.

If your waters testing out as normal dan I'd say either a bump from wood etc or it could be stress from the male trying to mate , any signs of breeding ???
 
Also should note that my male will occasional bite the female around her eyes and gills which sometimes left her with a little cloudiness in her eyes
