opaque lens (1 Viewer)

[JR]

I brought a young Fox Face Rabbit fish from a LFS store over a week ago. After I had it for a couple of days I noticed that the eyes looked opaque when the mid day lights were on. When I shine a flash light on the fish the eyes look normal. The fish is eating and swimming good. I read on a couple of websites that opaque lens can be caused by a poor diet. Does anyone have additional information that?

Before you ask, I did not put the fish into a quarantine tank, and yes I know that I should have.

Thank You

Try some searches for "cloudy eye" and "pop eye". There are a large variety of causes.

I think its normal....if its like brownish, metallic like. They have the evil look.

This is normal for rabbit-fish. I have an orange spotted rabbit-fish. They have a layer of skin that can change color like the rest of their bodies over their eyes. It's very cool.

It is very normal. My puffer has the same look to his eyes only his stay blue. My two bar rabbit fish is constantly changing the color of his eyes.
