weird eye

[pluchinsky]

my raccoon butterflyfish is acting a little strange & one of his eyes looks kinda glazed & bluish? all the fish were QT'ed & none have been added in the last few weeks. any idea what could be going on? thanks!

Did you recently acquire the fish? Did you use a net to move him into the tank? How long was he in QT?

pretty recently. i guess i've probably had him a couple of months & i did use a net. he was in in QT for 2 weeks. i've noticed now that the 1 eye actually looks like it might be scraped & there's tiny white specks.

Was he ok when you finally moved him over to the tank, or did this problem develop right after that? Is the eye swollen?
