Hi, I have a 20 gallon community tank and I woke this morning to find that one of my zebra danios is missing an eye. Does anyone know what the odds are of it surviving or if there is anything I can do to help it out? If not should I remove the fish from the tank? I unfortunately do not have a hospital tank to put him in.
 
from what ive read they can survive perfectly fine with only one eye, but imsure others will be able to help you out more :D

He should be fine, However it is important for you to find out what has caused this, What other fish do you have in the tank?

I have some 2 black veiled and 1 white veiled tetras, a silver tip tetra, one otto cat, a rainbow, 4 khuli loaches 3 neons, one other danio, and a clown loach which is only 3 or so inches long.

It was possibly caused by the lone clown loach, he should really be in a larger tank with around 2-3 if not more of his own kind. a lone clown loach is usually unpredictable and much more skittish than if kept in a group.
Also your tetras and danios are also shoaling fish so really you need to have a minimum of 3-4 (ideally 6 or more) of each to see their true beauty and to make them feel more at home in your tank.
