Its crazy how you get more sarcasm then answer on mr, the reason i gave him a fresh water dip was because he wasn't eating for 3 days and his eyes were cloudy i thought maybe he had some parasite i had him for two months and this is the first time that he has failed to eat....

It's funny how people do things.......then ask questions after...

The symptoms you describe does not justify a FreshWater dip.
So the answer is: you stressed / injured the fish out for no apparent reason.
There are other options to attempt to cure the symptoms you state.

For your information i ask questions at my LFS before i fresh water dip him and did some research not eating for three days is a reason, he might have a parasite? in any event i'll try RC for some answer thanks anyway.

Your LFS gave you wrong advice.

...............and now your attacking MR based on our sound advice.

Good luck on RC maybe you'll find the "expert" advice your looking for.
