porc puffer with white eye

[jmccown]

I got a porc puffer about a year ago and it's eye turned white right after I got him. He obviously cannot see out of it. Is this something that is curable? He acts fine, eats good, but has a white eye.

Can you post a pic??

Pics probably aren't that great but here is the best one I have. You can't see any green at all behind it.

Is this a white film on the outside of the lens?

Or is this under the lens?

No it's inside the eye. You can see that the lense is clear. He really has a hard time competing for food in my tank because he can only see out of one eye. If I knew what to treat him for I could QT him and medicate him.

My porc had somethign similar too that, it wasn't as bad thogh(not even close) I used pennicilin to treat it and it worked great.

if its inside the eye i don't think it is curable but if its on the lens its a bacterial infection. if you can get a better pic it would help

I'll try to get a pic tonight.

New PICS

Any ideas?

Looks like its on the eye to me. I think Pennicilin could work for it.
Also why didn't you try to treat this when it happened?
