Jaguar With "Coudy" Eye

[Red Devil 18]

Hey guys,

ass some of you may know i have been keeping a 3ich jag, in a 75g tank with my 3 inch Red Devil. I planned on moving my RD to a new tank by the end of may. But after about two months my red devil outgrew my Jag 2 inches to one. i put plenty of hideing spaces so the jag never really got beat up. But one day the RD slipped into one of the Jag's Caves, and the jag made a frantic sprint out and scraped part of his body on the side of the cave. It is now 48 hours after the incident and the side he scraped has white markings where the scales were ripped off, but whats really alarming me is his eye on that side. It has gotten cloudy and puffed out a little. Does anyone know if this is pop eye, or just the healing process. Thanks

Probaly a second stage infection. When I had Ich in my tank the first fish to show was my Jag. Its eyes clouded up and eventualy it looked like white cloudy fungus attached. I treated my tank with Coppersafe for 30 days along with Melafix for any second stage infections. I also kept my temp around 85 degrees and added salt. Its eyes cleared up after 3 days after starting treatment.
