That's the one Steve , yer gona take good few days for eyes to clear , sounds like they'll be ok though few more water changes , at least this experience has brought them closer together lol

not too sure if there's a med specific for cloudy eyes though. not even sure what causes them to be honest.... I always thought it was bacteria taking advantage of a stressed fish but could be wrong. can anyone shed some light on that for future ref?
Bumps are or its chomps you want to worry about and constant chasing , the chasing alone has seen off loads of tankmates in mine just from the stress , as mine git bigger he used to move pipes and bogwood to get to stuff it was a nightmare
I always thought I was a self defence thing where fish slimes eyes up to protect them from amonia or poor quality wster , the barra will get the better of him when gets bigger but he's gota get there first and the jar will know it lol , mine killed a few potential threats before they had chance to get big enough ( clever boy lol )
if you notice the Barra's growth rate increasing immensely, start looking at separating them. Barra's can eat fish almost half their size if they feel the need to do so. Just have a look at the pics of my barra eating a rosy barb - he did eventually finish it off haha
nah, they're not really aggressive as long as they know they can't eat their roommates. If you wanted an aggressive aus native fish I think the best is the mangrove jack... sooty grunter and jungle perch can be pretty mean aswell
