Cloudy Eye

The eye becomes cloudy almost to the point of whiteness and the fish lose vision. The
causes behind this disease can vary. An increase in parasites in the aquarium is the most
common cause but severe stress, old age, or malnutrition can all lead to this condition.
Treating this condition requires an investigation of water quality. Once the water quality
is high enough, the fish will usually recover by them selves within 1-2 weeks. Thus, it is
advisable to wait for 1-2 weeks before administering antibiotics.
