    how's e-body doing? I know I haven't been on here in a long while, but I need some help. I've had my Queen Angelfish for over 3 years now and never had any problems w/ it. but about 4 days ago one of it's eyes clouded over and started protruding a lil' bit. after a day it looked like it was getting better. it never fully cured and now the one eye looks worse and the other eye is starting to cloud up as well. It hasn't eaten in 2-3 days and doesn't move from behind the rocks. It's usually a very social and friendly fish.

    What do you guys think it is, and how should I cure it?

    Can you get a pic? There a few things that can start to happen to eyes. Some may need hospitalization and serious meds. Some you might just have to put a little anti-biotics in the DT and it would be fine. It's tough to say without knowing for sure whats going on.
