Hi I posted a while back about my Temensis having blood in his eyes. Well he doesn't seem to be able to see. He bumps into everything and can't find food. Should I put him down any chance of a recovery? Thanks
 
So no one responded not sure on correct action here, do you have any pics of his eyes? Can you feed him with tongs?

He will eat with tongs, I will get some pics of his eyes. They still have blood in them. Maybe a little cloudy.

Have you tried any broad spectrum antibiotics for him? Extra water changes?
 
I treated once for HITH with Metroplex. For 2 weeks. Things looked better but now this. I change 50% every week.
 
If he's eating with tongs I would keep him. I would start 30%-50% water changes every 2-3 day's and see what happens. I'm the sort of guy that get fish as pets. You need to do what is best for the fish. I believe that no one can tell you to put him down that's your call.
If he gets spooked easily and runs into the glass or hurts himself I would put him down. But try the water changes and meds like Carlos said for a few weeks and see if he comes through. He looks healthy otherwise.

Sounds like a plan I agree, I just didn't want him to be struggling. What meds would you suggest? Thanks

I was just wondering if there there is a particular brand, or name of an antibiotic to use. Thanks again
