Ok, Ok, I am serious.
My largest 2.5-3.25 in green chromis may have gone blind.
In the morning it doesn't seem to notice the lights are on, and at night when it feeds it cannot find the food. It will open its mouth thinking there is food but will miss the food. Tonight I did an experiment. I held a fingerful of food under the surface and waited for the fish to smell it and come up. It did. And it ate from my fingers. It missed the food a couple times and bit my finger. I believe it worked because the food was stationary and it didn't have to chase it. Also, I chased it with my fingers while I was feeding and it didn't swim away. This furthers my suspicions.
So, could anyone tell me if this is a possibility and if there are other confirmed cases? Anyone else have something like this?
I just got new lights, but some of this behavior was happening before this.
