Get Your MonsterFishKeepers Cap

Welcome to MonsterFishKeepers.com

The members of this forum have come together to share our knowledge and experiences of fish keeping. We want to answer your questions, offer advice and fill the galleries with pictures of the fish we have all grown to love.

We are a unique community of Fish Keepers who seriously take our hobby to extremes and the NEXT level. The majority of our fish collections include RARE & EXOTIC Species of all sizes, BIG FISH with BIG APPETITES and BIG TANKS. It's not easy for most people or other "regular" fish keepers to understand why we maintain this type of collection and spare no expense on this fascinating hobby.

Hopefully, through this site and discussion forums we can encourage the next generation of Monster Fish Keepers to have the same passion and love we have for the hobby and our Monster Fish .

      Had these juvi peocock cichlids for a month now water parameters are all good ( 0 0 10) but I woke up and saw this on one of the more dominant males. His eye has a white mark and looks not as clear as the other, but not by much, I doesn't look swollen either (maybe just a wound?). If you have any ideas what it could be please let me know thanks

      It's hard to see in the pick but sounds like he may have scraped it.

      Mine do this from time to time, and I haven't had permanent damage or lost eyes.
      Just keep your water super clean and maybe bump up the wc's for a couple weeks. Little guy will be a ok!

      Most minor eye scratches and abrasions heal as long as waters real clean, how's he eating?

      Eating well it looked like a scrape or something to me but I just didn't want to take chances and have it end up being the start if popeye or something still doing more wc s can never hurt. Maybe some melafix too?
      Sorry about the bad pictures my camera isn't very good and the fish are too dang fast.
      Thanks
