Betta Miracle?

[leurr2007]

Hi guys!
I'm not new to this forum, but this is my first post on it.
One of my bettas I've had for 18 months now and last month I noticed he went blind. Which was odd, because he's nice and healthy... I just took him home from a long trip from school. However, I never really observed anything wrong with his eye. He is a pretty aggressive betta, and he'll chase your finger like CRAZY. I loved this about him though and I was sad to see him not able to do this anymore. Even though he was blind, I kept feeding him and he kept eating (who can stop a betta from eating ).Today I walked by and noticed he was looking at me... so I was like.. thats weird, and I put my finger up to the tank and he chased it around for the first time in a month.

Is temporary blindness a common thing? Was he just sick, or is this just a little miracle for my sueenableurgh?! I'm so happy right now

how do you know he was blind? the stress of being moved probobly just knoked him out of sorts for a while, took him a wild to get back to normal. possible he was suffering from cloudy eye but then he would have shown white dotd on each eye

I figured he probably had something wrong with his eyes, but I looked at them and they were normal, no puffiness discoloration or anything... unless it was so unnoticeable I couldn't tell ahaha. He's made the trip by bus and car about 5 times previous.

I concluded he was blind because he had no reaction at all to anything that came close to the tank. I could put my hand there... he wouldn't puff up or even back away, i put the food thing infront of him.. which usually gets him excited nothing happens. He also just lounged in one corner of the tank... Even yesterday when I did a water change.. he swam into the tank and started like swimming into the corner of the tank in circles... obviously not seeing where he was. This went on from December 17th... right up until this morning
