    Last night I noticed that 1 of the eyes on my flame angel has turned cloudy & is appearing a bit puffy. Any idea what is wrong & how to treat it?

    You could give it q few days two tops to see if it gets better on its own ? But it Sounds like an eye infection called pop eye to me Angels are famous for it , look for Mardel Lab site they have several treatments Maricin one is probably the best I have found its a broad spectrum antibiotic totally reef safe tetracycline been using it for yrs long before Mardels came onto the scene .. Get some to keep on hand just incase here you go look here Virbac Animal Health - Mardel Product Catalog

    The best thing about Mardel is that a lot of PetSmart's and a lot of PetCo's even carry it.
