    Red Sea Sailfin has Cloudy Eye???

    Hi,

    I've just purchased a Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma Desjardini) yesterday. He was acclimated properly with a drip loop for 1.5 hours and no lights for almost 24 hours. His behavior is normal, a little skiddish, but is coming out in the open quite a bit and not hiding.

    His eye is cloudy, however. I've seen this before, but not sure what to think of it. Will he be OK? Is there anything I can do?

    It didn't seem as bad at the LFS. As a matter of fact, I didn't even notice it until today.

    Thanks for your help.

    Mike

    Hey nitratehater!

    Sometimes even after proper acclimation the stress from a move will weaken the fish allowing it to be subject to things such as ick. Do you have a quarantine tank you can move the fish to? I believe that may be in order..... If not, is your tank a fish only or are there carals in it? vbmenu_register("postmenu_111174", true);

    Over time science has shown that the simplest answers are usually the correct ones.......
