Posible eye disease?
while watching my fish tonight I noticed that one of my juvinile hal sharks had a single cloudy eye. It does not look disfigured in any other respect, and that bala and all other fish seem healthy in all respects. Any ideas?

Melafix works wonders for cloudy eyes.

Usually if there is one eye that is injured it is due to a self inflicted wound or an attack of some sort. As mentioned Melafix will suit the deal perfectly. Disease is usually more common when both eyes are afflicted.

Re: Posible eye disease?
I had a gsp puffer that had one cloudy eye. I treated him with melafix and within 3 dyas it was cleared up. My guess is as stated above: they eye was scratched somehow. I have a another puffer that I noticed had a cloudy eye this morning. I'm treating her with melafix and pimafix. I don't know if it's my imiagination but her eye looks better already.
