Hi:
A sad thing happened tonight. When I looked into my tank, I found one
of my fantail lost both of its eyes. Does anyone know if there is any
disease out there that will cause a fish to loss its eye?
I don't understand why this is happening? This is one of my bigger
fish and I don't have any aggressive fish in my tank (all fantails).
If the cause is physical truma (fight or sharp object), I wouldn't
expect it to loss
both eyes at the same time. It looks like the eyes just popped out.
When I was feeding the fish a few hours ago, it looked fine. I
noticed the problem when I was saying good night to the fish.
The fish looks OK right now. Swimming peacefull and "breathing"
smoothly. Can a fish survive without its eyes?
It is very very upsetting. I am debating whether to put the fish to
sleep or not. What do you think
