    Cataract

    Thank you for the recommendation. I did not buy the other one yet. For Kanaplex 5gm - $7.90 Shipping $28.03 (standard 7 days) Prazipro - $9.49 Shipping $16.75 Total $62.17. This is what the cost came out on amazon. I def. can't afford this.

    Cataract

    I have never used aq salts before. This morning I looked up Maracyn Two up on amazon. They want to charge me $12 to ship it to where I live and it will come in 7 days (the slowest shipping possible!!) The cost of the medicine itself is only $13 :banghead:

    Cataract

    On the blind fish both of her eyes are pretty much clouded over to the point where her eyes look gray. In the middle of both her eyes (on the black part) there seems to be an elevated area that appears cloudy. On the newly infected fish, on one eye only, right in the middle it looks like has a...

    Cataract

    Ok after staring pretty hard at the fishes eye, it looks like the cloudy dot is ontop of her eye, not on the lens of the eye. Does this confirm that it is a parasite?

    Cataract

    Well I did some research and I am thinking that it might be fish eye flukes? They said that a symptom is white dots on the eye. My fish only has 1 dot so far though.. Would kanamycin help cure eye flukes?

    I think my Bolivian Ram is Blind :(

    Hi Guys Just an update. My fish is completely blind but she is managing. Tonight I was cleaning the tank and noticed that my other male fish (which I got at the same time as my blind fish) has a white cloudy dot in the middle of his right eye. His other eye is fine. All other fish in the tank...

    I think my Bolivian Ram is Blind :(

    I can try take one when I get home from work tonight. The problem is that the water is so cloudy so I don't know how good of a photo I can get but I will try. How can I tell if it is cataract versus cloudy eye vs parasite?

    Thanks for everyone's feedback. Day 3 of treatment today. Checked on her this morning. Still in same place as last night, sitting on the bottom of the tank... semi black. She hasn't eaten every since she got moved to the hospital tank.. going on 3rd day. Is this a cause for concern? Will she...

    I think my Bolivian Ram is Blind :(

    How can it be bad water parameters of only 1 of 12+ fish have it? Today is day 2 of treatment. Absolutely no improvement. In fact, she is just sitting at the bottom of the tank - no swimming at all. I am starting to think that maybe I am making things worst for her. In the main tank, at least...

    I think my Bolivian Ram is Blind :(

    Ok added a piece of driftwood and some floating plants to help her feel more at home and added more water to the tank. She still hasn't moved much:( If the eye doesn't clear up, how long should I wait before moving her back to the main tank? She seems depressed in the hospital tank all by herself.

    I think my Bolivian Ram is Blind :(

    Ok I borrowed a 20 gal tank from a friend and filled it with about 5 gal of water. I transported the sick fish into the tank and put some macaryn in the tank. So far she hasn't moved. Just sitting at the bottom. Looks scared or mad. Hopefully this will cure her. I don't have an extra filter...
