WhtWolf Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I have noticed in the last few days that my fish seem to be losing their eyes...is there a disease that would cause this or is it maybe a bigger fish attacking them?? in the tank are neons,danios,2 clown loaches,a rainbow shark. any advice would be appreciated.

Southerrrngirrl Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 How big is your tank?? I'd be pointing the finger at the rainbow shark too.. he/she may have a particularly nasty streak. I have a rainbow shark too, but never noticed any eyes missing from my tetras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhtWolf Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 2ft tank the rainbow shark is pretty shy and dosn't come out from hiding much and spends most of his/her (can't tell what sex not that I know what to look for anyway) with the loaches. they have all been living together quite happily for about 8mths b4 now.

jude Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I believe that sharks can get nastier as they get bigger - and he might have developed a taste for eyes. Can you put him in another tank and see what happens? Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhtWolf Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I don't have a second tank. would love one but can't afford it the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
