Re: Hap with bulging cloudy eye

I’ll order a better test kit. I’m looking at the API master test kit, but that doesn’t do GH by the description. Any suggestions?

Fluval aqua +.
It’s softer since moving boo hoo.
I’m confused over the GH reading as it’s 250. It’s a different scale to the 10 you are after maybe.

Re: Hap with bulging cloudy eye

I’m not registering any ammonia or nitrites. Nitrates is 25. PH is 7.2.
Prior to moving I had non chlorinated though I did still use the conditioner. I wonder if I have super chlorinated water here.

Re: Hap with bulging cloudy eye

Only about 3 weeks, so he’s quite new.
Yes. Although….something worries me here. Since moving house, when I add water to the tank it looks white, briefly.
No. Never seen him get chased.
Water info to follow.

Re: Hap with bulging cloudy eye

Oh I just did a big water change this morning, that’s when I noticed him, so I’d expect them to be perfect.

Hap with bulging cloudy eye

I have just noticed a hap with a nasty looking eye. It’s bulging and cloudy. He’s not looking great, fins slightly tatty, but his behaviour is fine, he’s milling around waiting for food.

Re: Flashing - infection? parasite?

I have had a good look over the last couple of days and I think all is well. They are busy chasing and trying to kill each other, so it’s business as usual.

Really? I looked at some pics online and decided they were lice. I’m still itching!
I thought the fish were still flashing earlier, but I’ll have a good look tomorrow.
