    My keyhole fish has something going on with one of his eyes. On of the is really puffy and very cloudy. What could this be?

    probably a bacterial infection.
    what are your parameters, clean water is the best thing for a cloudy eye

    sounds like pop eye, my coral beauty had it for like a month and then it just disapared Try using Garlic when you feed to beat all parisites and infections..

    I had a blue Hippo tang that got a puffy cloudy and I read that if its only one eye the the chances are that it was scratched. and that soaking your food in high vitamin supplement or garlic (the best) will help the healing proccess. I used vit. dont have easy access to garlic and in a couple of days it was cearing up and gone in about a week. if not a scratch then could be infection starting that could lead to ich or move to other eye and also result in blindness. good luck

    Still having problems getting worse. It has moved to my fish's other eye. His eye is also very red.

    OK my keyhole has died from this both of his eyes got it and his fins started looking really bad, and started not eating. I also got a coral beauty and he got the same thing in one of his eyes and i don't think he is going to make it either. He fins are lookin bad also. What is going on none of my other fish has gotten this?
