Hello,
I started a 45 gallon freshwater tank about 2 months ago and I now have the following fish:
1 black ghost knife
1 Yoyo Loach
2 Mollies
2 Cory cats
1 Opaline Gourami
1 Australian Rainbow
1 Giant Danio
3 Gold Barbs
1 platy
2 small suckerfish, not chinese algae eaters, but look like them...
1 fish that is about 3 inches long and looks like a kissing Gourami but is silvery brownish, not sure what it is
I noticed that my Platy was missing an eye about 2 weeks ago but didn't think much of it, as it was a new fish and I belived it may have from the store like that. I didn't recall noticing it at the time though in the store or when it was brought home. Now I notice that one of the suckerfish is missing an eye. Is it possible one of the other fish is causing this? If so, which would be the most likely suspect. Also, I had an australian rainbow who's eyes acutely began protruding from its head and it died soon after. I mention because the only info I have found online regarding fish missing eyes suggested pop eye disease or something like that as a possible cause.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance if this issue has been addressed already in this forum, I did not see a reference though.
