James D Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi all, I have some neons, a catfish and a pleco that have got perfect little white spots on the lens of their eyes. Are these eye flukes?? I have treated with salt and Methyl Blue but with no joy - any suggestions?? All help appreciated - Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Interesting call Jolliolli. They're not what I'd call old. The fish don't seem to phased by it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliolli Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 i have some neons with small white perfectly circular dots on their eyes. They have always had them since i got them and i think they are very old. a knowledgeable fish person suggested to me they might be cataracts, they have never been disturbed by them and are otherwise healthy.

fishychick Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Have just noticed a similar thing with one of my neons a few days ago. Now that I've noticed it I can't believe I haven't seen it before. The spots are more of a grey colour in this case tho. As you say, the fish doesn't seem to be bothered by it. I don't think these are old, they came from the LFS in april. If it was eye flukes, would the other fish be in danger of getting them?
