Need help!!

I've got a bass with a white film over his one eye. I think it was originally from an injury, and it now looks like a fungus over it. Any ideas of what it is or how to get rid of it?

Cloudy eye... usually a sign of poor water quality. What are your water parameters, what size tank, other fish, etc?
If it is an actual bacterial infection that won't clear up after water changes, it's usually a gram negative bacteria and my favorite drugs are sulfa based drugs or kanamycin... both are broad spectrum antibiotics and can affect your biological filtration. You could even try melafix, less intense.

Do a large water change then test your water. If the params are bad then figure out why. But yeah, to treat cloudy eye just up the water changes significantly..............

thanks for the input, keep it coming!! the only problem is all my parameters are great. he got picked on by another fish which caused the infection. he started to get white puss balls where the injuries are. the eye has more than a film now its white puss. I just dont want to treat it as bacterial inf yet due to the bio problems.

The fish have been seperated now and the problem is not getting worse, just not getting better. he is in a 75g for now and he is 12" long.
