why my parrots fish keep on get cloudy eye?

[andythiam]

The moment i put the parrots fish in my 4 ft tank, all the fishes lay on the bottom & minutes later can see the eye is cloudy. My 4ft tank water is over-nite for days plus add anti-cholorine, salt and black water. why is it still happening? But the moment i transfer the fishes to the my other 2ft tank the fishes is back to normal.Any bro got the same problem? Pls share how you solves it.

hi pal. first and foremost, have u cycled your 4ft tank? ur mentioned the situation is your tank now only aged water but not water that is cycled. so cycle well your tank first before adding your beloved fish in.. just my 2 cent.. thank you

did u cycle the tank? seems like bacteria infection to me

[andythiam]

Bros what u mean by cycle? thks my pump & filter is running when the water during aging.

Cycling of water is important.. U should add the correct media into your filtration so as it could intro good bacteria into your water.. At least, one week of cycling of water before adding fishes.. Thats my understanding of cycling of water..

normally when my silver dollars got cloudy eyes, a 90% water change will heal them.
if I ignore them, the eye ball inside will get deformed....

to me I think should be water is bad... or dirty...

but 90% change of water is too danger to fishes isn't it?

not really. unless you do the steps wrongly it will not be dangerous for the fish.

[fireblade]

I always did that to my fishes
just need to add anti-chlorine if see fish is not behaving correctly normally will do the trick.
you just do what is right for you then

[fireblade]

think in no time the goldfish will be dead because parrot fish will attack goldfish...

ok bro, thks will do

I noticed that you added blackwater to the 4ft tank, it may have lowered the PH level in the 4ft tank as compared to the old tank and resulted in 'PH burn' when you transferred the fish over. Did you cycle the water between the old and new tanks before the transfer?
