Hey peeps,
I have been monitoring my jar for a about a week now really closely and it seems that he has a white band on his left eye, when you look at the eye the whitish bit is top left hand corner of the eye, and it looks like its pushing the eye but they eye doesnt really look like its bulging and he doesnt have anything worng with his eye at all just the outside of it.
I read on the net that a whiteband around the eye is sometimes caused by the diseas thing (popeye) pushing the eye out and stretching the skin, could this be happening? Also i have wood in my tank and he could have just bumped it on a sharp piece, but i dont think it would be a band around the eye? also could it be overfeeding or underfeeding? as he was put into his new tank about a month ago and he hasnt been eating correctly, but tonight i feed him his favorite food (worms) and he was gulping them down like no tomorrow.
I have one more thing to add, i just got an eel today and i was moving the gravel around to bury his piping, but after i was done i realised little worm like sqirmy things in my water, and luckily they got sucked up by the filter quick smart, but there is still probably some in my gravel. Could this cause the whitish band? i only did a water change/gravel clean on saturday and didnt see any wormy things in the water or gravel.
i am going to get some worming thing for my fish tomorrow and mabye a drop eye remedy if my fish has it, or if there is a remedy? And i did try to get a photo but he just swims away and my camera inst very good.
hope someone can answer my Q's. im a bit worried!
(and sorry for the long post)
thnx in advance
