View Full Version : Batfish eyes Glazed over

My batfish has recently had ich and been treated with Krypto-Pro by Phish Pharmacy. I noticed once I started using it that his eyes and a couple other fish glazed over and were having a hard time feeding due to vision. Is this part of the ich, or has something else gone wrong with the system. Could it be an affect of the medicine? I quickly lost the other two fish after I dosed the medicine. Please take a look at the picture and let me know what you think this may be.

Thank you

brayden,

The white diffuse spots on the tail could indicate that the fish still has Cryptocaryon - which can, as you know, also cause cloudy eyes.
What is the active ingredient for the medication? Some products are more toxic than others. I think it is quinine, but I'm not positive. I would not expect quinine to cause cloudy eyes like that.
Batfish are also very prone to Neobenedenia flukes - another disease that causes cloudy eyes. It is certainly not unheard of for fish to have multiple, overlying infections.
