It doesn’t look like it’s eye to me, it looks more like it’s side/backThat looks like pop eye - a disease caused by pressure or fluid pushing the eye out like that. Usually a sign of an other disease, can you give us more information about your tank please - size, tank mates, how recent was anything added, how often do you clean it etc. If you have any test kits can you get us readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate please.

Isnt that where BN's eyes are?It doesn’t look like it’s eye to me, it looks more like it’s side/back
It’s near the eye not on it though, eyes are circledIsnt that where BN's eyes are?
Hi Wills,
Thanks for the quick reply! I just searched pop eye and it says it grows on the eye but this isn’t on the eye? It’s near it though…
I’ve got a 160L tank, in the tank I’ve got…
- 2x Bristlenoise catfish
- 4x Angel Fish
- 1x Ghost Knife
- 2x Tiger Sharks
- 2x Clown Loach’s
- 3x Texas Cichlids
I changed 30% water on Saturday just pasted and added Seachems Prime and Seachems Stability. I change 30% water every week. I have got any testing equipment only ph and the ph is in the right range.
I haven’t seen any of them been aggressive towards each other, they are all pretty young and small at the moment and I’ll be getting a bigger tank soon. I’ve attached a photo of one (not my actual one) they are a bottom feederIt could be some kind of bite - you have a lot of aggressive fish in there? I'm actually more worried about the fish you have listed in a 160 litre tank, most of them need more like a 160 gallon tank... When you say tiger sharks do you know what these are? I'm guessing some kind of loach?

Not sure what species Tiger Sharks are but I would suggest an urgent review of what you stock. That is never going to be a peaceful tank and it is way too small for what you have. My guess would also be a bite -.i.e. something in the tank tried to remove (or eat) its eye.Hi Wills,

Ah ok thats a Red Tailed Shark but they have all kinds of names - was hoping it wouldnt be an actual Tiger Shark haha!I haven’t seen any of them been aggressive towards each other, they are all pretty young and small at the moment and I’ll be getting a bigger tank soon.

I agree that it is likely a bite mark from something, keep an eye on it though as it is an unusual mark.Not sure what species Tiger Sharks are but I would suggest an urgent review of what you stock.
