I have had a red honey gourami for approx 1 year now.
He has suddenly developed a concave left eye which appears to have no iris. He appears to be blind in that eye.
He is swimming and eating ok, everything else appears to be normal.
Any clues anyone?

Could he have caught it on anything sharp?
Half dose Melafix in case it is damaged.
Fish are ok in the tank with only one eye, I've had at least two in the past who have done ok.

If at first you don't succeed....

Got a neon at the moment with one eye, looks a bit scratty compared to the others but still fights them off for food Its amazing how well they adapt.
