Corys Eye Swollen Fogged And Possibly Blind!

[TRAGICTRAMP]

Just came home from work to find one of my julii cory's eye is extremely swollen, fogged up and looks like bacteria attached, possibly related i also found 1 of my 2 angels dead stuck inside a small rock, the cory seems happy enough at present, I am also going through a bacterial bloom from switching filters, my water stats are ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 15, in the pictures do this look like another fish attacked it or some kind of virus? The tank is 125l roma, he is in with other cories, small zebra loach, small yoyo loach, a panda garra, 1 angel was 2, 2 cribensis, 2 silver sharks, 2 bolivian rams.

thanks.

I have also been adding seachem stability to help with the bacterial bloom and the filter change and prime during water changes, every other day.

Your tanks overstocked.

What the brand name of the test kit you are using?

Immediate water change.
Increase aeration.

Add a bacterial med to the tank.

What colour is the bacteria on the eye?
Can you give a description of what you see?
Does it look like white cotton wool?

Hi, api master test kit, bacteria is a fogged white like in the picture, not texturous like wool.

I would add a bacterial med.

Think about rehoming some fish As the tank overstocked.
The silver sharks need 100 gallons, as they grow bigger.

Apart from your overstocking...i would aim at the kribs attacking the poor cory... kribs are known to remove eyes of corys,mainly because they become aggressive and possessive around the bottom of the tank,especially if they're in breeding mode.

I agree about the kribs.

How is the fish?
