Cory And Missing Eye

[aaronc]

Hi All

Just been to feed my fish and noticed that one of my cories, a pretty young one, is missing an eye. He doesn't seem to bothered and is eating.

Is there anything I should do to make sure he doesn't get any worse.

It's worth noting that I have just finished a course of protozin, last dose (half stated dose because of clown loaches) went in last night.

I don't think there is anything in the tank that would have helped themselves to the eye, unless snails would?

Thanks
Aaron

I heard clown loach can be aggressive and heard more than few occation that they did take out the other fish. It seems eyes are pretty tasty for fish that is why when some fish die the eyes are the first part of the body get picked on. You might need to check on that since you sure don't want more poor Corys lose eye(s).

What fish do you have in the tank as some fish can suck there eyes out.
Melafix to stop it getting infected poor thing.
Good luck.

I have Clown Loach and Congo Tetra in the tank. I will treat with Melafix once the protizin has been removed by carbon

Thanks Guys
