Is my jaguar cichlid blind? (Parachromis Managuensis)

[ArshadOscar]

Just picked this guy 3 days ago, and i've seen that his/her right eye is a bit different than the left eye, could it be a disease or is it just damaged or blind?
But i think its badass, like a pirate HAHA!! what do you guys think? He/She is 3 - 3.5 inches by the way, are you guys able to sex him?

I found out sexing Jags at that size is hard, only sure way to tell is venting them.

As for the eye looks like right eye is not working properly what he can see out of it i don't know. I did have a tetra with one eye that was fine for years.

yeah, hes is healthy too, he eats a lot, and already conquered a territory, hes already the boss of the tank. But i still hope it ain't a disease

don't look like a disease, look likes he's sustained a bit of damage from other fish. eye looks like the outer skin, cornea, and lens may be gone. my fish have had damage to the eyes before and they have healed, but never that bad.

Yeah, i think he was bullied by a female jag at the store, thank god it ain't a disease
