discus fish jumped through a tiny gap in a holding tanks lid and spend some time on land (out of the water), cant have been more than 15min, but understandably the fish was pretty lucky i saw it when i did

2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds).

initallly when it when back in it floated for a while but resumed its perky attitude within 1 hour, this was about a week ago, a few days ago it started developing cloudy eyes, everything else is fine, its colored up and fins are fully extended. however i noticed today that appears to be acting like the blindness is getting worse

3. What medications/ treatments have you already tried and what were the results. Include dosage and duration of treatment.

Fugal cure(malachite green and methylene blue + arifavene) added some salt

not the best pics but preety hard to take pics with green water

Am away from my pc so cannot see the pics, not sure why you added a med though, pretty sure just clean water is all that would be needed. Sometimes the eye gets abraded when discus do what they do, some heal, some don't.

Its been there for the past few days, i thought nice clean water would do the trick as well but looks bad and the fish has started weird in the past few hours, ie it will have a lay down on its side but giver it a nudge and its up looking great apart from the crusty looking cloudy eyes, figured i'd it was something fungal in the beginning but know i suspect bacterial, i only does because I'm kind of attached to this one, it has one of the best blue shares i have seen for a very long time...i want it to live and be cool

OK, I'm back at a pc where I can see the pics, and yep they are not the best. Even with the pics I'm guessing, it may well be bacterial. If you can get a good broad spectrum antibiotic it may help, but as I say I'm guessing. Not to be harsh but I'd question if it was worth the expense.

[wild-blue-discus]

yep i figured that's what is was, started a treatment 24 hours ago... why do you say that?

Sorry I was typing without thinking, basically the fish isn't the highest quality.

My discus have cloudy eyes when I apply medicine in the tank, especially when I overdose it. However, the eyes clear up within a week after I changed the water.

I am not sure if your cloudy eye is same as my discus or not. It is not just a spot, but whole eyes getting cloudy on the outside.

[wild-blue-discus]

Yep I've seen that before. but this was not a water change or medicine issue, it had been going on for about a week but progressively getting worse, a dose of antibiotics is clearing it up
