Re accuring cloudy eyes!

[triggerfreak]

Ok so i seem to have a eye problem in my fowlr 210 gallon tank.All chemicals are fine and they all eat like a pig.But i have had 2 serious eye injuries in the tank.One went blind and the other one lost the eye completely.They both seem to be from catching them on the rocks.But now the problem, a few of my other fish and any new additions seem to have cloudy eyes on and off.It is not flukes as i have treated with prazi a few times.What do you think it could be and what could i treat the tank with.I want to kill what ever it is in the tank.

Is it one eye on each fish or both eyes? How is your water quality?

For the most part it is both eyes.All chemicals are perfect except phosphates which are a 5ppm and nitrates are at 40 to 50 ppm.

HUM!!

Any chance a parasite is in your tank causing a secondary bacterial infection in the eyes?

 

[triggerfreak]

Couls be.I do not know what is causing it.I have treated the tank with prazi and malifix with in the last 6 months.So if it is something that that stuff does not kill, then it could still be in there.

Have you ever noticed ich on your fish?

 

[triggerfreak]

No they don't have ick and i also dose my food with garlic and every other vitimen on the market.

Well just because you use garlic and vitamins does not mean they don't have ich. In my opinion if it is both eyes the odds of trauma are reduced and the chances of it being bacterial or water quality are suspect. Now the question is what could be causing the bacterial piece? Could be a parasite....

My local fish guy thinks it might be a parasite of something also.He recommends i treat the tank with formaline.
