[AquaticLife] Cloud Eye on Angels
I saw Steve already replied and I concur with him that many things can cause things like cloudy eye. For more info, go to this link http://preview.tinyurl.com/2m83ee (the TinyURL for the long link to Pandora’s Fish Disease page on the WayBack Archives) and scroll down to the section on Cloudy Eye for images. Following is the text copy/pasted from that section. Common Name - Cloudy Eye
Pathogen/Cause - Various organisms (nonspecific), Severe Stress, Malnutrition, Cataracts, Old Age, Hyperproduction of slime due to poisoning, bad water quality, or irritation
Physical Signs - A cloudy white or grey “haze” over the eyes that may cause blindness.
Behavioral Signs - Associated with loss of vision, also just general signs of lethargy.
Potential Treatment - Investigate if water quality is high first (water changes), then if nutritional needs of that species are being met. Wait at least a week or two before trying any antibiotics, it will often clear on its own if water quality is high.
Other Notes - Frequent water changes a must to improve quality. Test for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates. Cloudy eye is a sign of a number of things, rather than a disease in its own right.
