I have a pleco who I just noticed today has 1 cloudy eye. He was sitting on the bottom of the tank (not sucking) and his eye has some white goo on it. The goo has since fallen off and his eye is just cloudy now. I have moved him to a QT immediately after noticing it. I have also noticed his tail fin to be a bit ragged, but all other fins seem fine. Might this be pop eye? I can't really tell if the eye is protruding or not. I have lowered the temp of the tank water to increase saturation of the aeration, just in case.
Water was changed and tank cleaned about a week ago. The following water parameters were tested before I put the fishes back in the tank.
GH 5
KH 6
pH 7.5
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0.25
No other fishes are displaying any problems. These are the other fish in the tank:
Ordinary Pleco
Red Nose Tetra
2 x Painted Tetras
Rainbow Shark
Irridescent Shark
Dwarf Frog
Banjo Catfish
Can anyone suggest what this might be? What should I look for while he is in the QT? And is there any use in treating him for anything yet?
Thanks
