We've got a 20 gal tank of platy & molly fry ranging in age from 1 - 8 months. Just today I noticed our oldest platy seems to have an eye issue. It looks like it might've been bitten? I tried to capture it in the pics attached. I've separated her just in case it might be something contagious. None of the other fish seem to have any outward issues. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

What other fish do you have in the tank?

It looks like its either been attacked, or caught itself on summat, it doesnt look like a disease so i think you are safe on that note.

Just the 15 or so platies and mollies... all rather young. I haven't found anything definitive online about it possible being a disease, so I think I'll put her back in the main tank. I thought at first that she might've been attacked, but wanted to be safe. Do eye injuries on fish heal eventually, or will she be disfigured the rest of her life? :( Thanks!
