Eye Problem on a Foxface
 
Today I noticed that my Foxface has one eye that seems enlarged and grey. Does anyone know what this might be? I'll try and get a pic.

The only eye thing I have ever had was pop eye on a Coral Beauty that went away on it's own so I think it was stress related. I did find in my research that "eye" funk can be treated with kanacyn and neomycin to treat for both internal and external bacteria infections and apparently it works. I didn't get far enough to trying to find any of this stuff though so not sure if it is available in Canada.

Sounds like pop-eye.

Is your foxface new to your system? Its probably just stress and often goes away once the fish settles in.

He has been in the tank for almost a year now with no ill effects. Nothing has been changed or added to the tank in over a month now. I'm at a loss. If it is Popeye, what are all the treatment options?

Sorry, I don't know much of anything about pop eye treament.

I think it sorta depends on what caused it. Here is a link that might help.
