No fems. At least none that I know of. I have a German Red and a Red Empress that have not colored up yet that may be females but no otter point fems...
 
If it was cataracts there are some meds for it...

Not legal, but would help w/his appetite

No cataracts. The condition came about too quickly.

I do have a 20 year old Clown Knife that has cataracts...
you have a 20 year old clown knife.. how nice!!!! How big is he.. did you have him since a baby?
 
Wow, 20year knife- gotto be 3feet by now...Would love to crash the tread and post a pic?
I like the score you got with the peacocks, and the eyes are cloudy, but they dont really look that bad...Should clear up in no time- maybe 3-4days the latest if you keep your water right. I would say its anything that would spread...looks more like stress or and said before injury.

I had my Red Empress ( wow I didnt realize this, but everyones has had it happen to there RE's) get a couldy eye once- but he ate fine- turned out he scratched it, kinda puffed up and then went away...
Scared me at the time- tho

best of luck hope he settles in ok
 
The guy is eating fine, so that's good. Been feeding a lot of frozen Brine Shrimp to make sure he keeps eating till it heals.

Not sure if I have a pic of the CK here.

And, no, he isn't 3 feet. More like 2. And I've had him since he was 2 inches long. He was the first fish I ever cured of a disease. He got ick right after I bought him. It was the first time I didn't treat the tank and just treated the fish. Salt and noxic did the trick.
