lionfish with cloudy eyes

[sumeet]

My large volitan lionfish has cloudy eyes today... What does that mean?... He's otherwise healthy and active and eating well (frozen silversides with a feeding prong)...
Is this the beginning of some disease he has?
What should I do??
I'm currently treating my tank for ich with KICK-ICH...
Thanks!

Cloudy eyes can come from a few sources; bacterial infection or trauma. Usually its stress-related, whats your water quality like?
Anyone picking on the fish, or have you done anything new to the tank?
if we can identify the stressor we can eliminate it.
Okay i just caught that your treating your tank w/ kick ich. Does the lion also have ich?
what else is in the tank w/ the lion?

Thanks for your reply.. The water quality is perfect... just started treatment with KICK ICH for the tangs... He doesn't seem under stress... very active swimming around... must be a bacterial infection then... I'm thinking about starting treatment with RALLY as well... He eats frozen silversides, so maybe I'll soak them in garlic first as well... What do you think?
