cloudy eyes on bolivian ram

[ozone]

hi ,

can anybody help please?

just bought 2 pairs of bolivian rams(lovely fish).1 of the females appears to have an opaque cylindrical pyramid ( if that makes sense ) on both eyes, the cloudyness seems to get slightly denser towards the centre of the eye.

any ideas please,,,i am hoping that in good water quality that it may dissappear on its own.

thanks,
john

Keep that water CLEAN... and try adding some Melafix. Those 2 things usually clear up cloudy eyes.

As said cloudy eyes are normally a sign of poor water quality, check your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels and do corrective water changes if needed. Ammonia and nitrite should both read 0 and the nitrates should be below 40ppm .
