    Angry Cloudy Eye Treatment?

    Hey all, it has been a few days since I got my fish from Uncle Sams Discus in Los Angeles and I realized one of my fish has a cloudy eye. It looks as if a film is covering the eye with a little bubble in the middle, I think what may have caused it is another fish running into it and hurting its eye while on the drive back home. I would love for names of medication to help that you have personally used before. Thanks!

    P.S: picture will be attached below to give you an idea of the fishes eye condition Also please let me know if I should Isloate the fish for treatment

    Start treatment with clean water,doing 50%water changes daily.
    Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons coarse salt per 10 gallons of water.......No improvement after several days and need to treat with antibiotics (nitrofuranzone or kanamycin).

    Thank you so much, could sea salt be a substitute for coarse salt by any chance?

    Yes any salt is fine so long as it doesn’t have any other agents or chemicals added.

    when I do the water changes do I re-add new salt, and If I do should I add 1 or 2 tablespoons? Thanks and hope you see this

    When you take water out, you will have to replace the salt. E.g. 50% water change, replace 50% of salt.
