Bar Goby With One Cloudy Eye....help

[tdog7879]

My bar goby seems to have a cloudy eye and it is a little big too. The only time i ever see him is when i feed and it only came out for a few seconds and then back to his cave. Could he have hit his eye on the cave that he hides in? He has always been real skitish and swims real fast.

Is this fish a recent addition to your tank? Try doing a water change that does not disrupt the tank over much or stress fish. Also, feed your fish food soaked in fresh garlic (as described in the FAQ Thread at the top of this forum).
Do you have quarantine tank?

I have had this fish for about 5 months and i do weekly water changes. Also i do not have a quarantine tank. What could be the problem?

It is possible that he scraped his eye. Have you added any new fish that may be scaring him? Have you checked your water readings? Prepare food with the fresh garlic that Beth mentioned. It is also a good idea to rotate Vitachem and Zoecon to improve his immune system and help him heal himself.
