I bought a Keyhole cichlid from the LFS that was "Pre-owned". When she was introduced to my tank, she was fairly active but I noticed that her eyes were cloudy. Over time, she has become more withdrawn and is either near the surface of the tank or hiding in the vegetation. There are other Keyhole in my tank that are very active and not timid but she is on her own all the time.

As her eyes are cloudy, does it mean she is blind and explain why she is not moving much? I rarely see her eat but she appears to be in good shape - rounded body.
 
it might clear up ive had fish with the same thing or simular and its gone it might just be from stress of moving about but don't take my word for it just keep an eye on it but it should be fine ive got a completly blind 13" plec and a half blind12" plec and they get round the tank better than most of the other fish lol

juat try doing 25%/30% water changes every other day for a week or 2 and see if it clears up at all i dont think any meds will help with it to be honest , it might of just got into a little fight with out you seeing it

it doesn't seem to have clamped fins or any sign of anything else it looks in good condition to me
