I have a problem

[Final Dynazty]

I had just gotten a Bristlenose pleco and now i have realized her left eye has no definition. Its hard to explain like theres a black coating over the eye or sumtin. Plz if someone can tell me what this that would be awesome.

Call the fish store were you got it and see if the others have the same thing. Thay might be and they could be treating it with something specific. Personally, never heard of anything like that though. Try treating with some Melafix, couldn't hurt right?

 

[Final Dynazty]

well that was the last one they had. I start workin there tuesday so I will see then.

will it heal

will it heal

If the eye has been damaged, then he may never see from it again. But it should heal providing no secondary infection is contracted and there is no reason why he cannot live a normal happy life.

Unlike us humans, many fish don't rely on eyesight as a main way of knowing what's going on around them. Smell and vibration are of equal (if not higher) importance.

[Final Dynazty]

The bottom middle of Sir minion's fish is a banjo catfish. They are really cool, but be expected to NEVER see the little bum!
They also really love to hide in sand substrate when they are older.
NEVER SEE THE BUM!
