Four line pim eye problem

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If you use a flash, do you see a light reflection from this eye? If not and from the looks of it being kinda dead, I'd guess he got poked in the eye, possibly by another fish's spine. Could have been a territorial dispute for a hiding spot. Your new marble cat could be a suspect or any other cat in the tank of comparable size?

Sharp furniture is a very distant second guess.

It was like that before I got the marble. It looks like it's popped or something.

I see what you are saying - the eye does not have a healthy bulge. It's like popped and either flat or concave.

In that case, I cannot determine what caused this in an unknown retrospect - I understand you are not asking for how it happened but what it is - unfortunately, knowing how it happened usually is of great help in arriving at a few plausible diagnoses. The eye looks dead. A handful of things could have done it.

Again, if there is no reflection of light when using flash on your camera, there is no lens = no eye. No bulge = no eyeball anymore.

I just flashed a light in his eye and it did reflect light. I think? It's sort of a bad angle but its the only one I can get ATM.

I hope you mean you are using a photocamera flash. That's a good start. Please get a few more angles. Making sure the surroundings are rather dim/dark (little other light) may help too.

Hard to say in that pic because the flash reflection off of the glass overpowered the shot. Try to point the camera at an angle so that the reflection off of the glass is directed away from the camera lens.
