hi..first off, you might get more feedback if you put this in the "health" section of the forum..okay, now it seems to me that ur widebar has something called a "pop eye". i never had this happen to me before, but 1 of my close friend did. his widebar had a bubble like strutcture on 1 of his widebar's eye and it was cloudy. there is medication for this type of illness. go to ur lfs or petco and look for "pop eye" cure. im not sure what brand is useful, but i suggest you go and ask. hope dis works out and good luck
 
I know what "pop eye" is and it is caused from bad water quality which mine is perfect (no ammonia or nitrates). It looks to be a parasitic thing or something.
 
obviously your water is NOT perfect because if it was, then this would have not happened
 
i know that my water isnt bad. It could be just from when i put a bunch of krill in the tank last night and some was left in there that i quickly got out. This datnoid has had problems with his eye since i got him and its the same eye and none of my fish are showing cloudy eyes or stress of any kind. When i got him his one eye was really cloudy and it went away since it was in my water so it might of just came back all of the sudden. Ill just keep an eye on stuf and see what happens.

Thanks guys

Ok fiesty mofos ill get an exact reading tomorrow as i just did a 60% water change.
 
Is there anything sharp that it could have hit its eye on?
I've had fish that hit their eye on something and it looked like a tube protruding out shortly after.
 
Thats what i think happend that it hit its eye. Ill just keep everything perfect and hope for the best.
