goldfish eye problem
I have noticed that one of my pond goldfish seems to have one eye missing,
it looks as though it has been eaten out. Would the other fish have done this and if so, what do I do with the poorly fish? Gary. |

I can't remember where I read it, but there was a story about not putting telescopes with ryunkins for this reason. Apparently once a ryunkin gets a taste of eye-pudding they will purposely go after other telescope fish in the tank/pond. So far I haven't had this happen, but I'm keeping a close watch. As far as your fish, it can still survive with one or no eyes. Especially since many of our goldfish have distorted vision due to the shape of their eyes anyway. ~ jan |

An eye went missing on a young koi this spring. There was nothing in it's pool but other koi (as far as we know). By the time I noticed it the hole was already healing. We have no idea how it lost it's eye. I moved it to another pool and believe the frogs got it during the night. There is nothing you can do for it. It will quickly heal under most circumstances. -- Reel McKoi.... frugal ponding since 1995... My Pond & Aquarium Pages: http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/h/shastadaisy ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |
