I have had 4 Red Line Torpedo barbs for about 6 weeks. One of them has always had a cloudy eye with a white dot in the middle. I first noticed it the day after I got him. I have treated with Myxazin (bacterial) and they are now on day 6 of 6 using Protozin (fungal). There is no change so I am not holding up much luck.

My question is what to do next. Do I treat with Sterazin (parasite) or go with a "salt bath" or is there anything else I can try.

Fish behaviour seems normal, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate minimal, pH 6.8-7.0

I also have 3 Clown Loaches so I had to half the dosage of Protozin.

Looks more like blurry eye than cloudy eye by the pic. :lol: :rofl: :lol:

It could be that the fish is blind in that eye. Usually when a person or animal is blind in one eye it is a bit cloudy and a little off in color. If he is eating and swimming fine, and no other fish seem to have it, i'd let him be. Just watch him and see if you notice any change in behavior.
