I went to work and everybody was fine. Then I came home to 4 of my fish with their eyes looking like this including my dull eye pleco. Any idea what happened? is this a disease or did they all have some kind of battle royale?
 
Could be ammonia burn....

How is your Ph?
 
Another thing, what other fish do you have in there?
 
water parameters were all good. I came home and my two argentae were even worse with scales missing from fighting I think my freddy got mad and started attacking everybody so she is moved out of the community tank and in a 55 temporarily until I get a new tank for her. Honestly I'll be surprised if either of them survive now. I knew I should have moved them out last night.
 
It looks like their souls got sucked out by aliens.
... just a first impression.
 
Good is not a number. What is your ammonia, and your Ph and hardness?
 
ammonia was at 0, ph was 7.2, nitrites and nitrates were both very close to the 0 ppm according to the color strips, and unfortunately I don't have a hardness test. the worst of the fish ended up passing away last night but all the others are making huge strides in recovering compared to where they were last night. I would have to say in a weeks time they should all be healed up. I am still not completely convinced that it was only the freddy, but I have no idea what else it could be. The symptoms really do resemble ammonia burn but that doesn't account for the readings I got when I tested. I guess I'm lucky if I only lost one fish compared to what all could have happened.
