my baby pbass area bout 3"
i have 4 in a 46gal grow out tank
today when i turned on my t5 lighting i noticed that 2 of them had a sorta pop eyeish thing goin on
i waited for about 3 more hours and it was the same
it looks like theyre eyes are pointed to theyre nose
and instead of theyre eyes being black like normal theyre whiteish yellowish
what is this?

My lfs don't know what they're looking at when they test the water... You need to get your own tests...
