Fish Losing Eyesight

[cham]

I think I've had a couple fish lose eye sight out of both eyes. Any idea what would cause this? Any solutions?

Skin appears to be peeling

FW dip?

What do you feed?


Dont dip just because something seems wrong, have a real reason

Mysis & blood worms typically.

I'm starting to suspect a chemical issue. I'm checking with a mfg now to investigate. Its seems to be happening right after I dose Mg.

How much magnesium are you dosing? What is your magnesium level? What else are you dosing?

 

[cham]

9 oz every 2 or 3 days trying to boost my Mg from 1200ppm to 1400.

I'm dosing two part via a Aqua medic doser. I've kept an SPS sytem for years on this so its not my first dog & pony show.

Just curious, are you making the determination of loss of eye sight from the behavior of the fish? Or from some external indication with the eyes?
