Found this pretty beauty at lfs, but is left eye looks flat and hazy, kind of the opposite of pop eye. What can this be and can I treat this while in qt? The fish is stunning and I want him. Also be nice to treat him instead of him dying. Thanks,

you may have to save the picture to your hd, then zoom in...
 
oops it won't allow me to post the pic as the file is too large (274kb), I don't have a photo editor to crop it, I can email you a pic if someone would be so kind to crop it for me
 
Honestly, I wouldn't buy him. But I understand why you would want to. I admire your integrity.
If you do get him, you could treat him with a broad spectrum antibiotic, I like maracyn. If its just on 1 side it is probably an injury, popeye usually affect both eyes.
Also if its just inflamed, you could hold off on the antibiotics and used epsom salt. 1 tablespoon per 10 gallon, this may clear up the inflamation as well.
Good luck if you do take him home. :)
