Tiger Barb going blind ????

[KWRB-KMAN]

Hi all i have a Tiger barb about 10 years old that has white spots on its eyes and the way it was swimming in to things i was wondering if the blindness is caused just by age or what i do my 20% water change every week and about a full one about every month to month and a half depending on life lol if you need more info just ask

Wait...your tier barb is 10 years old?! I would imagine that that's a pretty natural effect of aging...What kind of set up do you have? I think that barb is pretty much spent. Have you introduced any new fish lately?

i'd say its probably due to age! ten years for a fish in a tank is pretty long...
but one thing...i dont think you need to do a full water change...if the tank looks a little more gross or something...just do a larger water change, like a 50% or 60% but i wouldnt do a full water change..but thats just my opinion

no new fish i think the barbs just might eat them unless i get them the same size and i just can afford that lol thanks guys i figured that i just wanted some confermation
