cloudy eye recurrance

[shao]

Greetings all! I'm pretty new to this forum but are pretty recurrent in the MFK market so hopefully, I can figure this out. Anyways, recently my deltoid caught cloudy eye and it got pretty bad but after I dosed kanaplex it cleared up pretty fast. unfortunately, he caught it again in a one-week span from the curing of the last which was quite bizarre. anyway this time I put him in an isolated bin instead of fully dosing the whole tank as I was sure nobody else had it but it seemed to be getting worse. the only difference between the two attempts at curing is that I fed him kanaplex-dipped krill, unfortunately, this time he didn't really have an appetite so I wasn't able to get him to digest kanaplex. I was wondering if this was something should be worried about and or if I should force-feed him medicine if that concept even exists for fish. sorry for the long post but please let me know if I'm missing something obvious or if force-feeding my deltoid medicine would work. thanks!

Welcome to Reef2Reef and sorry for your trouble!

I'd suggest at a minimum posting the info suggested in the quote below, and if possible reading through the link below that (particularly the "Aquarium Parameters," "Water quality," and "In-depth Information" sections) to figure out what info you can share here with the #fishmedic to get the best diagnosis and treatment advice possible:

Please provide as much of the following as you are able:

• Brief description of the issue you are observing and answers to the following questions:
  • How long have you had the fish with the condition?
  • Did you quarantine with medication when you first acquired the fish? (If Yes, which medication?)
• Current water quality measurements
• Clear photos of the issue taken using WHITE light and/or a short video of any behaviors (post in your response or on YouTube).

If you can help us by providing as much of the above info as possible, it will make diagnosing and providing recommendations for treatment MUCH easier! The Fish Medic team will get back to you as quickly as possible. In the meantime, other members of our community may also share their experience with similar situations and advice that they may have regarding your situation.

You may also feel free to provide a more detailed description of the condition if you wish to share more info than the above list.

Welcome!

Don't mix kanaplex into the food - if you get the dose wrong, it can cause kidney failure in some fish.

Please read the post provided, and update us with information.

Thank,s
