Foxface Rabbit

Hello all....I have a question about my foxface rabbit. He seems to have, what looks like to me a cataract on one eye. All my other fish are fine and my water readings are all perfect. Any suggestion?

 

Probably injured it or could be cloud eye or popeye. Keep an eye on it (no pun intended). If it doesnt start to clear up in a couple of days or is getting worse, place it in a QT tank and treat with penicillin of some other broad spectrum antibiotic. A fresh water dip also works well with the antibiotics.

If its an injury, it usually starts to clear up in a couple of days.

 

No it's been there for a while, plus I noticed this morning it is happening to his left eye also.

 

I would do a FW dip and treat with antibiotics in a QT tank if its happening to the other eye. It could be cataracts but it could also be cloud eye.

 

I also have a foxface and they do tend to have a slight fogy film over there eyes, I do believe this is normal for this fish, As All I have seen also look the same. ( I may be wrong and if I am, I'm sure someone will correct me ) ;D

 

+2 Every rabbitfish I have had has had this "iradescent" film over their eyes.

 

Thanks for the advice. I will keep an eye on him! I've noticed it seems to go away when the lights are out, but maybe..... it's my eyes that are bad. lol
