Discovered the cloudy eye a couple of days ago, changed 25% water yesterday, checked all water readings are good and dosed with salt. Wondering what else I can do to improve his chances.... thinking of either Pimafix, Melafix, İnterpret Anti fungus and finrot or Waterlife Fin Rot & Ulcers? Has anyone been successful with any of these please?

Very hard to see him properly due to his location but looking less happy and not seen to be feeding.
 
UPDATE after reading more I decided doing nothing was not an option so dosed the tank with Pimafix. Today, already, he's no longer hiding and his eyes look slightly better. Long may it continue 😊
 
I'd change the substrate. Quite likely by digging into it causes tiny wounds / scratcheds which can get infected quite easy.
 
Never treat your tank until you know what you are dealing with. If you know what the problem is then treat, otherwise hang off the problem may not need treating.

Yes, you're right, and will do that once medication has been completed next week. I suspect though that this is more likely due to bacteria as I've only had this problem since recently introducing 3 new cory.

Doing nothing wasn't really an option as he was definitely not going to make it without intervention. So far so good since dosing with the Pimafix, hopefully he'll continue to improve 🤞
