Boxfish from LFS got clouded eye...

[Terryz_]

I just got two boxfish... One of them have one clouded eye... Will it lose that eye... Or is there anything i can do...

[vicky]

not it will not . is it due to ich. do u spot any white things in your boxfish? coz ich sometimes go to the eye and cause cloudiness. only Pop eye will cause blindness or lose its eyes if untreated and cant be treated. use anti bacteria medicine. use ocean free anti bacteria series. find at any fish shops .

[Terryz_]

Ich still have cos today just got it... Hope both will go away soon...

Feed garlic...pump them with garlic.

[Terryz_]

I have always been feeding food with garlic wat... Btw will too concentrated garlic have any side effect...

[sps_dude]

an my openion....feeding garlic will not harm things......but i think try to feed it in moderation......garlic is not in the fish natural diet....too much of a good thing is not too good... my 2 cents worth

[alanseah]

well adding too much garlic into food or water will confuse their sense of smell..

[Terryz_]

I mean the garlic juice...

[FuEl]

Oops..my fish been getting garlic everyday for close to 4 weeks already.

[Terryz_]

Try quaratine it and bring down your water salt level to as low as 1.014, maintain the same PH with you main tank, if can add some copper safe medicine on it, my also happen the same as your, but now ok and start to chase after food liao
