Oranda has blood in one eye

[ryukins]

I have one Oranda that has a swollen eye and there is blood inside his eye!

I don't know what happened as he was fine this morning.. What should I do??

Can you post a picture?

What is the tank size, other inhabitants, and water parameters?

Not sure if you can see from this picture but his eye is swollen.

I have 2 Oranda and 1 black moor in a 38 gallon planted.

Yikes! The poor thing. I wouldn't think the other goldies would do that, what kind of hardscape do you have? Could it have hit it's eye on something?

I don't have any sharp objects in the tank and it is bare bottom. There are some larger round rocks and sometimes they try to sqeeuZe in between the rocks to search for food. Maybe he did that to himself??

He will be fine! Just keep the water healthy and keep an eye on him for any new symptoms. The bloodshot appearance will eventually clear on its own but it will take awhile. The swelling should go down over the next few days to a week. I would try to remove or move stuff so there aren't any spots he may get caught in again. Any new issues, let us know!
