I have had the fish for over a year. I am pretty sure he has been blind the entire time.

He still does not have 100% vision I can guess but he see well enough to catch very small food in the water like fish roe.

It is worth a try.
I thought it might be eye flukes so I did a 10 minute freshwater dip a few days ago but nothing changed. One good thing is he is really easy to catch. lol I dont really have a big enough quarantine tank for a 7.5 inch long fish.
