Below are pictures of a jardini that I took from someone that didn't care for it.
When I got him, he had both eyes clouded over, swimming at a 45 degree angle.
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of him at that condition.

Its been 4 weeks that I've been treating him in a 10gal quarantine/hospital tank.
Method used was melafix, epsom salt (0.5%), temp at 84-86.
Daily w/c of 15% to clean out any fish wastes. Filter used is a sponge filter, HOB with the carbon removed. I would say he's 80% recovered. Both eyes are cleared completely, although his right eye's pupil is considerably smaller than his left eye. Still swimming at a slight angle probably about 20-25 degrees.
Appetite is good, he can down 4 meal worms and plankton. He has grown at least an inch when I first took him away.
