Hello friends, I have a problem with one of my large Bala~Sharks. It seems to have a white puffy ring around it's left eye and, the eye also looks cloudy. I was thinking Pop~Eye, but none of the other Balas, or anything for that matter, has any problems. Everyone else looks great, thats the problem? I suspect that since Balas are a skittish fish by nature, that it might have ran into a decoration and injured it, but Iive never seen this before. I don't think I can get a pic, cause theyr'e way to "jumpy". Anyone ever had this or know what it might be? A white swollen ring around the eye and also it's cloudy. I treated with Melafix and Pimafix to be safe. It looked a lil' better this morning but I'm still worried. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. :cry:
 
in popeye the eye bulges out, and is covered by a translucent white film. Normal meds fix it for me.
 
never had a fish with popeye
 
Hey buddah, sorry to hear about what was going on. You should check out the thread "Big eye problem" by Berg. I wrote some comments similar to what I was going to tell you here, but to save me from writing them all over ( I know, I'm lazy, lol), you can just check the thread out. OK? Hope it will help some. You may not need the info. anymore, as this is an older thread, but if it happens again, then it's there for you to refference -k-.
