Missing Eye

[geezer]

Hello All. Today when I was looking at the fish I noticed one of my Sterbai Cories was missing an eye

He seems to be eating normal and schooling with the other two as normal. I just wondered how on earth a fish could lose an eye.

I'm not sure if he was attacked, or if that's a form of an attack no clue here

I wouldn't have thought any of those would do that to him but it is a very comon form of attack. A fish can't see = a fish can't fight. It's the perfect thing to go for when fighting. Oscars (for example) are quite aggressive fish and you always find them with missing eyes leaving big unsightly scar down their faces. I'd watch the tank for a bit to see if he's coming into contact with any of the others
