Serious eye problem

[DB junkie]

Well this disgusting eye problem started out as what appeared to be just a pin hole sized air bubble in the eye. Well it worsened day after day. Now it appears the Arnatus's swimming habbits are being affected. I'm sure knowing my luck it's too late to save him, but I'll sure try my best.

Looking for any suggestions.

Thanks to ANYONE who can offer in sight to this poor guy with only 1/2 his sight.

What are your water parameters? Deteriorating water quality usually causes cloudy eyes and can hamper the health of fish especially if this involves the characins which are often more sensitive to water conditions than anything else.

0 0 40 before WC. My other 3 Armatus are fine. This is an injury. All I keep are Characins and rays.

Thats a pretty bad. Since its an injury I am not sure what type of medicine could help except clean water, and salt. I would put him in a seperate tank and do 10% water changes daily with additional salt. Im not optimistic that it would work, but you could try Maracyn Plus to see if the cloudiness will go away. Its worth a shot. Good luck man I hope you can get him well.

No meds needed. Doing water changes will actually help here and save you your bucks.
