Hi guys,
I have 3 Chichla Peacock Bass which i got them when they were not even 3 inches.
Well, after taking care of them for 4 months now they are at 8inches.
However, due to some stupid mistake I MAY have done (not sure what mistake) 1 of the PB had got the eye fungus ;-( which i treated for 3 to 4 days with the liquid i ordered and half water changes everyday for 4 days. The problem was almost gone but all of a sudden the eye became whitish and the black part of the eye started to disapper. As I could not find a solution to it she lost the eye ;-( . She is not able to see from that eye and the other 2 PB are biting her as she has become weak. She used to eat atleast 2 Goldfish/ Or any other breed of fish but now she hardly eats.
Im really worried about her and disappointed on myself as not been able to help her.

All the help is really really appreciated if know anything can be done. Please

She is definitely blind can you partition the tank to keep her seperated? You need to keep the tank water super clean 3-5 large water changes a week add salt to help the healing process also incase there is a secondary infection. The other bass will beat her up if she is weak so seperating her until she has a full recovery is the only way. Eye infections is usually due to poor water quality she may have injured her eye and because water quality is not to good she got an infection and caused the blindness. Bass that have lost an eye and fully recovered and can hold there own within a bass community

cigars cigars i have been doing the water changes. As the others were harassing her, i have shifted her to a seperate tank but have not added the salt to it. Will definitely add it the first thing.
About the water quality, i do weekly 50% water changes.
Well the most important question is... is there any Possibilities where she can get cured or see again? I know its not a right question but still. Any Hopes????
