:screwy: Only 1 convict is affected, all the other fish seem fine.

I tried taking a pic but bad camera+black convict blending into black background=cant see the eye

I'll try recording it on something else to see if the quality is better...
 
It's fluid buildup as a result of injury or poor water conditions. What exactly are the water parameters? Do you have pictures of the affected area? What decorations do you have in your tank? What do you feed your fish?
 
I say dido on Lupin he really seems to know his stuff.
 
if it is popeye then you need to up the water changes and many times it can be bacterial infection something like Kanamyacin can be used

I agree.

I have seen pop eye/cloudy eye from bacterial problems too. Myxazin is pretty good for it.
 
Thanks everyone
Just tested ammonia and it's at 0ppm, no nitrite or nitrate kit :(
I tried pics but it turns out really blurry
Decorations: Fake plastic plants, lava rock, 2 gargoyles, all of them have been in there for ~2 months or more. I just added a new PVC pipe that was in my 10g and other 55g for a week and a half.
I feed all of my fish hikari cichlid gold pellets, with small frozen sand gobies(from the supermarket) and shrimp to my bichir and sometimes my oscar.

I did an extra 14% w/c yesterday, guna do another 7 or 14% now(really low on water conditioner)
