sick red bellies

[ctenopoma]

I just got 3 free adult red bellied p's, one is swimming around fine but the other two a laying on the bottom and both have a sort of white cloudiness on one of their eyes what could they have?

they are just stress from tranfering them...Just shut the light off a day or so, add some aquarium salt and raise up the temps.

yeha I probably should have looked at the stickies :s the guy said he was selling them because they had cludy eyes or somthing buyt they where free so I thought why not

cloudy eyes doesn't mean they always sick. it could just be the water, stress or even amomonia burn.

Just add aquarium salt and raise up the temp. Make sure you have good water parameter and keep up your water change weekly. It should get better in couple of weeks.

Free fish always good.
