clouded eye

[catman]

My green terror has a clouded eye that he got over night. I was wondering if this was something bad or if he damaged it and has become blind in that eye.

could be a fungus...my fish got that and then it progressed to what was obviously a fungus. I used an anti fugal and it cleared up with no consequences.

i think its probably a fungus or a bacterial infection. My pike got the same thing, left it blind in one eye but I got rid of it by doing more wc's

I started treating him and now his poop is turning white. Does this mean its a parasite or does it mean he is ridding his body of the problem?

True fungal infections are extremely rare. This is not bacterial infection IMO. Catman, could you please post your water parameters? Cloudy eyes are often a result of poor water conditions or injury. Please post the results of your test kits. Clean water should be your main priority over treatments. Put that fish in a separate tank and do daily water changes until the cloudy condition recedes.

Poor water conditions can cause the fluid buildup behind the eyes. Only clean water quality can correct it. No treatments can.

Not only is the eye clouded but the same side of his body is worse than the other and there is like a red crust from his side fin on the bad side also.

This sounds like injury to me. Have you separated the fish yet? Could you please post pics of your tank? We need to find out which decorations are that abrasive to cause injuries.

Can I just do water changes in the tank he is in now because all I have is a 10 gallon tank and I think being in that small of a tank would just stress him even more? Is 25% enough for the daily water change?
