Question

[Faia Betta]

I just noticed that my new male betta's eyes are beginning to cloud over???

When I get home, I didn't have time between waking and university class, I'm going to do a water change - a big one....


I have some meds for "cloud eye"

what else should I do

do a water change prior to adding the meds, this will help in a big way, good luck with sorting it

 

[WILDER]

Cloudy eye is not a desease in its own right a symtom of one.
Bad water quality.
Stress.
Old age.
Poor diet.
Parasites.
Bacterial.
Check water quality first.

revised question

I was watching him for a couple of minutes and noticed that only one eye is actually cloudy?

Could it be possible that he's blind in that eye???

I agree with Wilder, its an infection called "Cloudy Eye", more than often it is an external bacterial infection, it can effect one or both of the eye's in the fish.

Can you give us more info on your situation like the size of the tank, tank cleaning regime, types/numbers of fish in the tank, whether its heated and filtered or not etc?
