weird growth on gourami's eyes

**Brhino** · 07-21-2012, 02:19 AM

One of my three pearl gouramis has developed these weird white raised areas on the center of both its eyes. They suddenly appeared a couple days ago and haven't changed since then. Fish still seems to be behaving normally. Cloudy eye comes to mind but I haven't seen any pictures of it just on a small part of the eye... I don't know what else to think of. Pictures:

Normal gourami for comparison

I dont know what that is Brhino but I have had neons with the same symptoms. I know what it looks like. It didn't seem to spread to others in the school but I did take measures to eliminate it from my tank. I didn't find any med's during my search so the effected individual was iced. I figured it was easier to take care of the one tetra instead of dealing with 30 plus fish.
I hope you fine an answer my friend.

it's cloudy eye. up the frequency of your water changes and that should help. it's usually easy to remedy without meds, so give it a few weeks changing water every other day or so and see if it gets better.
