****, I knew my Jack was getting bigger, but I didn't think he was this mean yet! He ****ed up my lima! Bit a chunk out of him, and the Lime is missing his eye now, too! WTF do I do? I separated them....
 
I got a TSN that was in bad shape before, had a huge chunk out his side, and his second eye taken out. I put him by himself, added a little salt and raised the temp some. Just keep an eye on him. He should be fine
 
Just looked at him, his eye is still there, messed up and cloudy. Think there is a chance he will keep it?
 
I'm not to sure, I guess if it's not to bad then I don't see why not. I've never had a cats eye get messed up and be like that, only taken out
 
you are lucky to have such a tough jack. i bought a pretty big one from lfs for $23, but little did i know how weak it was. it got beaten to death by my oscars over night, and at one point i saw it almost completley in the mouth of my rtc. somehow it got out, but it didnt make it
 
I guess...I'm worried about my little Lima though =(
 
Move it to a hospitle tank and does it with salt malefix and raise the temp a little to prevent ick and hopefully it will recover

Limas use scent more the sight to get food so it shouldn't have much trouble just some getting use to really you need to watch for infection
 
Ok, thanks for the advice guys.
 
i got a one eyer too. doesnt seem to bother him at all. when i got him the wound was fresh but it healed up rather quickly and without any meds or anything (just a lil salt). No problems with him eating although I'm still waiting on his one whisker to grow back.
 
Oh, ok. Do they look ugly without the eye?
