Scuba Kid · 07-22-2005, 06:33 PM

my newly bought betta has a cloudy eye which im pretty sure is a body fungus? anyways, im treating it with pimafix and melafix. will this be enough?

fishfreaks · 07-22-2005, 07:35 PM

yes it should be fine. ive treated for cloud eye before with just melafix and it worked wonders

Scuba Kid · 07-22-2005, 08:39 PM

okay. thanks fishfreaks!

**Baby_Baby** · 07-22-2005, 08:46 PM

ya. melafix works really well. hope the little guy gets better,

fishfreaks · 07-22-2005, 09:28 PM

oh and i believe its caused by poor water conditions, so sounds like you've made a rescue

It can also be caused from trauma to the eye, but with a betta, that is unlikely the case since they are housed alone.

Well, there is the whole bit with the net scratching their eyes. It's easy to fix, and the current treatment should already be working wonders.

well actually im not seeing much change....i guess only time will tell.

**Baby_Baby** · 07-23-2005, 09:37 PM

does the betta have any tank mates?

Scuba Kid · 07-24-2005, 10:50 AM

I would have to agree with fishfreaks. Many times high ammonia is the cause of cloud-eye. If he had been in the store for awhile and they did not do any water changes in the little bowl it would have quickly caused the problem.

ya. deffinately. I hate it how they keep em in those little cups, but they sell like hot cakes, so its okay.
