Hi guys, any advice would be greatly appreciated. About two weeks ago one of my discus developed this cloudy white patch on his eye. It is not on his whole eye, just part of it and it doesnt seem to be getting bigger. I am not sure if it is the beginning stage of cloudy eye syndrome, or maybe Popeye bc his eyes, the bad one in particular, seems to be popping out of his head, I am not sure if that is normal bc my other discus’s eyes are aligned with there head and aren’t sticking out. Other than that he eats and acts completely normal. I have a quarantine tank set up if I need it. I have pictures so you can take a look for yourself but the system wont let me attach them bc the file is too big. Thanks so much. If anybody knows any ways i can post my pictures(they are 2.5 mb each) i would greatly appreciate it.

Tank Specs: 55 gallon
PH- 7.6(i know a bit high but they have adapted great thank God)
84 degrees F
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
.25 nitrate

Hi Gooose,
Poor Water quality can cause cloudy eyes. What is your water change schedule like?

Sounds like Popeye and I would medicate with Popeye pills. I think it will also clear up the cloudy eye too. You can resize your photos on www.shrinkpictures.com I resize them to 350 pixels. Check your other discus to see if they have those symptoms as it can spread.

I was able to get some pictures, Please dont be fooled bc it might seem to appear that the white spot is a reflection from the light but it is always there. I tried to take pictures to show how far off his face his eyes are. all advice or comments are welcome.
