i have this fish that since 1 week ago this fish is at the bottom of the tank sometimes hitting himself at the rocks etc so today i checked on him and i notice he only had 1 eye left and the other seems like hes blind from that eye

don't call me a bad person because i didn't care at the first day i noticed it's a livebeaver probably a swordtail so i am asking if i should sacrifice him or nop:(
 
I have a bling Ngara Peacock Cichlid. He is in with other 'peaceful' cichlid, he has been blind for 8 months or so. I make sure I feed sinking pellets as he will go to the bottom and eat.
 
I unfortunately can't unsee you actually sacrificing this fish in some crazy ritual now....

keep him if hes swimming, breathing and eating normally (well...as normally as possible with no sight)
 
I've been keeping a half-blind (one eye) angelfish for a few months now since one of my cats bit his eye out and he's done great in that time, hoping he'll still live a good long life.
 
I have a blind/semi-blind fish in with another fish, the blind fish would typically be the one to get the majority of the food under regular conditions but with his blindness and the other fishes lack of speed, it's been perfect. They both get the same amount of food and there's nothing in the tank to further injure the blind fish so it's worked out great. Better together than w/ their respective previous tankmates.
 
id keep it. thats probably also what jesus would do.
