Eye Is Gone!

[bm0589]

i look in my tank tonight when i got home and my smallest pakistani loach has had his eye COMPLETELY removed!!!! its like a vaccum has literally sucked it out of its socket!!!! im wondering if it was the very large pakistani loach that may have done this.....my school of them are always together and sometimes suck onto eachother so im wondering if that is what happened he is doing really well (i think) hes eating and swimmiing fine....but you can tell hes trying to see with his other eye!!! is there anything i should do? i have him in a hospital tank so he has time to heal and i figured maybe ill fatten him up a bit so hes not so small compared to the rest.....maybe hell be a bit more tough!!!

that happened to 1 of my copper harlequins just after i put them in the tank, i was gutted and thought they were all going to die. but it is totally fine now and swimming about with the others. the only difference is that it is quite a bit darker than the others. weird eh?
