Cloudy Eye - Six Line Wrasse

[Taino Man]

Hello All,

I have a Six Line Wrasse that has a cloudy eye.

He got into it with my Cherub Pygmy Angel, i read, after the fact, that i should have introduced the Pygmy last. Given the possibility of aggressive behavior.

At any rate,any suggestions for treating him?

I have a 15 gallon tank i can set up for a Hospital Tank.

I've never had any diseases in my Reef Keeping, but hey, gotta deal with it.

Only thing outta wack is Nitrates at .5

Was going to do a partial water change as well.

Thx!

Probably got nicked during the fight and has a bacterial infection now. You can wait and see if it gets better on its own or go ahead and treat now, its up to you. If the eye begins to protrude, definitely put the fish in a hospital tank and treat with antibiotics.

Sounds like a good suggestion, he does look as active and is feeding.

I will give it some time, thank you for the feedback, i appreciate it.
