My arowana got a little picked on by my jaguar cichlid in her growout tank last week and her eyes got a little foggy. I have since moved her up to my 180, but just noticed on her right eye which happens to have drop eye, there are air bubbles that appear to actually be under the lens of her eye. Anyone ever see this before? Shes acting normal and still feeding. I'm going to try and get some pictures for you guys, but if anyone has any idea why its like this or what I can do, if anything, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks,

how can you tell this by the info that was given?? Anyway, I do two 50-60% water changes on my tank per week...so yeah, it's def. not that....and I've been keeping fish long enough to know it's not something that simple
 
Never heard of this...some pix might help.;)

I'm trying to get pics, but Aro's can be a pain to photograph...especially when you are focusing on something as small as their eye!!! I probably wont have the pics up today, but friday for sure. Has anyone ever seen this?

I do know;)
 
I had this happen to a squirrel fish (SW) a few years ago. Same story- he got picked on and was moved to a new tank, day later the bubbles in the eye. I medicated with antibacterial medication and did daily H20 changes. Took about a week to clear up.

That sounds exactly like what happened to my aro. I have been doing heavey water changes. so hopefully it clears.
