Urgent! Valentini puffer with cloudy eyes!

[Fishman007]

Ive had my valentini puffer for 5 months and he has always had cloudy eyes but i though it was just the way they were until i looked them up and found that they should have clear eyes. He is eating fine and is always eager for food when i come up to the tank. Pics

Can any one diagnose it? I have a 10g QT setup already if needed

There is a section on cloud eye and pop eye. Could be bacterial but it is probably a permanent effect of an issue he had a while ago.

Cloudy eyes are usually poor water quality or bacterial. Make sure you are keeping your water pristine and see if that helps. You could use an antibacterial in QT, but I'm more of a fan of trying the natural way first.

Ive heard puffers cant handle microbubbles but ive got a bunch always floating around, could this be the cause?
