Any idea what this is? I noticed this happen in the other carps as well but it usually went away after a few days and never this bad.

Earlier today I noticed red build up on the bottom of the eye now it completely all red.

Right eye is fine. The left eye looks bad.

Does look like an injury to me. Perhaps payara took a bite and the sharp tooth punctured his eye causing it to fill with blood. Might try some salt + clean water + time first and see if it heals at all.
