Cloud eye help!

[D BOY]

Hi guys well yesterday i had done a water change in my 55 gallon where my 5in ebjd is being held at alone, was doing perfectly fine yesterday he was eating like a pig like always and today i woke up to give him his daily routine feeding in the morning when i realize that both my ebjd's eyes were blurry! is that a disease? can it be cured?

Cloud eye happens because of poor water and sometimes poor diet. Usually a deep water change and a lot of aquarium salt does the trick. It usually takes a few days, but it works. You can also try specific medications for cloud eye. Also be sure that your fish has an alternating diet. I mean don't feed it the same thing day in day out. Change it up for health and mental reasons.

I agree that a big water change is probably your best bet here, but you also need to get to the root of the problem: test your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate levels, and figure out if the water quality is causing the problem. That way, you know if there's something wrong with your biological cycle. If you don't figure out what's interrupting it, the ammonia and nitrite will just return in between water changes. If ammonia and nitrite aren't zero, and nitrate below 20, then you can be pretty sure that's what's going on with your guy.
