Ram With Cloudy Eye.

Hi, my bolivian ram has a cloudy eye, just on one side, none of my other fish seem to have it, i've only just notixced it tonight.

Cloudy eye can often comes from bad water quality. It can be treated with a bacterial medication.
You can also try doing more water changes first. As this often clears up the problem quite quickly.

It could be from a bacteral problem from poor water quality, but I'd check your pH before you put any anti-bacterials in. Everytime I've had a fish pop up with a cloudy eye its always been a result of the pH lowering. Once I can get the pH back up (via water changes, gravel vacing and/or pH adjusting meds from the fish store) the fishes' cloudy eye goes right away.

ok thanks. Will do some water changes, see what happens.

Being the owner of a large aquarium i have come across this problem many a time. In my experience diluting a few drops of white vinegar and pepper and putting the drops on the surface of the eye should clear up the problem within a few days. For quicker results drops should be applied 3x a day. Good luck

I certainly wouldn't recommend using vinegar and pepper as a treatment for cloudy eye.....
John, are you a troll perchance....
A not very witty troll....

why? do you not do regular housekeeping then?

how on earth did you come across that method?
I've never heard of such a thing on any forum or in any book of from anyone in the trade.
sounds like bunkum to me.
