Hi guys from forum . Im new to piranha and im now having 10 rbp in my tank .
recently i notice one out of 10 have only 1 eye cloudy if look from front look like whole eye cover with white slime but if you look from side it look like a line of white slime - eye pupil look normal / still eating very good, i dont know if it have eye fungus or just eye damage from other fish . I feed them very well but i notice they still nipping at eachother time to time.

question is will it heal if it eye damage cause from other fish
How should i stop them from hurting each other other than seperate ?

Many thanks ! Sorry for my bad english cause im

could you post pics? maybe they have pop eye sometimes the poped eye turns cloudy could be fungus probaly not damage from other fish as piranhas eiher do no damage or lots their is not really an between if it was another RBP nipping I doubt they would still have the eye
 
All my water parameters are good . He still have his eye . I will try to take pics
 
The eye does not look terrible I would not worry just keep an EYE on it (pun intended) and let us know if it gets worse although the pics are not great I know how tricky it can be to get a pic of them always moving also unrelated but it amazes me how much baby RBP look like spotted silver dollors
