Yellow tang w/cloudy eyes...freshwater dip? Formalin dip?

[Anonymous]

Freshwater dip? Formalin dip? Penicillin? What should I be doing for this guy? He can't see so well...it's not a totally white cloud over both eyes, but enough to cause him stress. Only one other fish in the tank...a lavender tang that can be moved.

Thanks in advance.

Peace,

Chip

I am going through a bit of a fish nightmare that all started out with cloudy eyes- on my Majestic Angel.

Moved my Angels into a larger new tank recently- things were fine for a month.

Cloudy eyes, lack of color, I had to do something. So the Majestic, a coral beauty, and a singapore went into a hospital tank.
Treated with myracin for the first 3 days, lost the Majestic. Switched to Coppersafe, and the other angels are doing better now.

I also have a Naso in the tank, with slight cloundyness to the eyes. I hope it will just get over it.

Overall, I would say that the decline will continue without treatment. A prudent course might be hospital tank with both a coppersafe like product and an antibiotic together- they can and probably should be used together- as I am just figuring out.

Otherwise, good luck. :wink:
