Looks like a scrape. Clean water and wait it out. If getting worse can try maracyn2.

If you zoom in right under the pupil, you can see a little bit of a reflection. But me, having no experience with any fish, doesn’t know anything. I’m sure other members like Kno4te can help, though

dang...

wonder how much a box treats - got kanaplex think one package treats 75g / 2 courses?

10 packages for 750 g ?

eye does seem to be getting worse /

guess pull him out and put in 75g QT vs ride it out....

wonder how much trauma / damage netting and transferring.... argh....

does appear to be a hole at the crest of his eye... not sure if it was blister like and popped...
