One-eyed Fish!

[Orodreth]

Hey,

I bought two Otocinclus today and after I had just placed them in the tank I noticed that one of them is missing an eye! I don't really know what I'm posting to ask...I'm just worried that it could be infected or something? It doesn't seem injured...just has a sort of empty eye socket. Both of the fish immediately seemed to get on with algae eating, going up and down the glass and checking out rocks, leaves etc. and they seem perfectly happy. Should I speak to the shop or just leave him alone? It doesn't bother me and don't know what they could do about it I'm more concerned for the fish I guess.

Anyway,
Thanks.

Okay, thank you for helping to put my mind to rest . It certainly won't make me love him/her any less! In fact, it might do the opposite.

Buy him a miniature patch and call him a pirate.
