Ok, this is my first problem with any of my fish since I started into this hobby ... Ok, I haven't been doing this long but I haven't had any serious difficulties with anything as of yet.
Anyway, my recently purchased Bicolor Angel has a problem and I need to help it. When I bought it (about a week ago) it seemed perfectly healthy ... nice shape to it's body (not skinny or too fat), Beautiful color, was very active and swan all over. For the first day or so it and the yellow Tang in the tank had a bit of a time getting along but after that they seem to get better. Now they seem to be very tolerant of eachother.
For the first few days I didn't see the Angel eat anything at all but the other day it did nibble on some "Formula" frozen food so I figured it was just getting acclimated. Yesterday it seemed to be staying in it's cave a lot ... more than I had seen anytime before ... and the same thing all this morning. It just recently came out of the cave and swan a bit and I've noticed it seems to have a problem with it's eyes. It's Right eye is VERY cloudy ... it's Left eye is just a little cloudy but I fear it may get worse. I also think this may be why it isn't eating much if anything ... I don't think it can see the food. It swan around the tank a bit and kind of hovered in the aeration column like the bubbles made it feel better or something.
What could be the problem with my new fish ... I've never had any fish get cloudy eyes like this ... what should I do? If this is something I can treat should I treat the entire tank or just remove the Angel and treat it? Please, any advice would be terribly helpful!
