hi,

i am from singapore, my 22 inches aussie lungfish had got mild cloudy eyes.

i tried to raise the temp to 28 deg, problem is the aussie got its scale burnt whenever his body touches the heater. what is the maximum temp i can set to?

the cloudy eyes isn't getting any better, what can i do, i still have an 8 inches arowana in the tank.

expertise please help ...............

thanks
 
Okay. What size aquarium is it? Are ammonia and nitrite levels zero? How about nitrates?

My Oscar had cloudy eyes and all I had to do was buffer the water against pH crashes. So you should also check your pH right after a water change and then a few days later to see if his weekly water change is taking him on an accidental pH rollercoaster. Anything else you can tell us about your setup?
 
mine is just a bare tank, has not check the nitrate and ammonia level.

just did a water change yesterday, the cloudy eyes isn't serious,

but just not clearing out ....
 
Leave them as is...I see a littl hint of cloudy eyes from time to time on my AUL.

Just make sure water parameters are good, you have done a WC, so you'll be okay. AUL are tough and hardy fish.

also, make sure you get a heater guard for your tank or the fish will continue to burn itself and this could lead to potentially serious infection.

as long as your water parameters are good, don't worry too much about the cloudy eyes as the fish will eventually come around. make sure to test your water though...and as stated earlier, specifically the pH/ammonia/nitrite regularly--

The heater burns may be the problem as this will also increase the chance of infection through stress and physical damage. Get that heater problem fixed and you may already have solved the problem
