Angelfish Eye Query

[Renathen]

I have a strange question. My black and white marble angelfish always had white eyes. Recently, they have been turing red. I just wanted to know if this is normal? It looks pretty cool.

He's about an inch and a half long and growing fast. I feed him TetraMin Tropical Crisps, I think there is a color enhancer in there somewhere.. could this be it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure someone else will help you but I think I have heard that it's a sign of a disease or something along those lines.

No mayree. This is just the genetic pattern coming out as the fish ages. Nothing to worry about.

Yep, the eyes should be red. Cloudy, no, and it is always a good idea to check the eyes of your fish, so it is a very good question!

Sorry for the bad information. I was thinking of cloudy eyes

As someone who has had angels with cloudy eyes I can understand why you would think of that first - "abnormal" eyes are always something to be on the lookout for - it is a sign of poor water quality.
