Squirrelfish help

[crabsrkewl]

Today while examining my fine tank I noticed my striped squirrelfish's eyes have medium sized white dots on (not in) his eyes. He isn't acting s;uggish or anything but refuses to eat and annoy my other fish which is his normal behavior. All parameters are at 0. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

It sounds like the beggining of cloud eye. How long have you had him? What does he eat?

I have had him for 3 months and was feeding him freeze dried plankton
which he has enjoyed fully. It is not however vitamin enhanced or anything. The lots are about 1/4 of their size today

Add more variety to his diet and add vitamins to his food. The spots should clear.

Alright I just got some vitamin enriched brine shrimp yesterday and the cleaner shrimp is doing a stupendous job getting rid of the spots.

Cleaner shrimp do not remove cloud eye. They leave scars picking off parasites. Vitamin enriched brine is not much better for food. Pick up frozen formula foods and liquid vitamins.
