well...from how u are explaining your tank it is hard to tell...you clean your water? ( wtf mate) plus salt level is important but ph and many others are the things that should come to ur mind first.

do you have any other fish with it, if you do put it in a seperate tank...how big is ur tank?

lol i just meant i clean my water on the regular, and i tested my water everything is fine, i dont have the exact numbers bc my uncle owns the tester kit and i wrote them down and they're at his house.


but i read lowering the filter to releasing/cycling less water could be beneficial for the fish's eye

Please explain how you "clean" your water. When posting about a sick animal it is useless without exact water parameters. Get your own test kit.

I had the same thing happen 3 months ago. All I did was water changes, 25 % 3 times a weak for 2 weaks, and then my fish went back to normal.

OK my answers are never short, so brace yourself. I am walking out the door right now, but in a few hours, when I am home, after I deal with my animals, I will fill you in ok. Hang tight ok. I'll be back.
