ryanjury Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 50/50 over if it will fix itself I don't leave it to chance anymore as I lost a few fishes eyes when it didn't come right.. Water changes and salt in the water helps. The best way I found to treat the fish is to drop meth blue directly into they eye once or twice a day, this is basically to stop fungus getting into the damaged eye before it can heal otherwise the eye rots out.

ryanjury Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I just treat until it clears up depending on how bad it is it should only take a day or 2 before you start seeing improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 yep I have used this method on some very badly clouded clown loaches and it worked a treat. That and copper (but don't use copper please). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
