Have you tested your water?
No
If I did not test my water...
  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.
Do you do water changes?
Yes
If I do not change my water...
  1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.
Could anyone tell me what might be going on with this cichlids eye? I don't know how long it's been this way ..I just noticed it today while doing a water change. I will admit that I got a little behind and my nitrates are up at the moment but would that cause something like this? Appreciate any help!
I will test the water and post results shortly. The fish in question is a female yellow blaze I believe.
