Is my Tang Blind?

[Neopimp]

My Fish has been acting wierd lately.  Bumping into things and stuff... Breathing Fast.  I thought Ich was the problem but now I am not so sure.  Last night I dipped him in paraguard for an hr.  Today I get home from work and go to feed and he doesnt respond AT ALL.  Tap the glass no response...

Anyone ever have a fish go blind?  I can see a couple very small white dots on the eyes but other than that they are clear.


if it is blind is there a shrimp that will lead him around like a seeing eye dog

but seriously what do i do with a blind fish?

Oct 14 is when he went in

wish i had some advice,i had a fish with one eye and he didnt last long in my trigger tank

 

[Neopimp]

Its really weird... I can touch him and he doesnt run away .. i shoved nori in his face and he is eating.. just seems blind..

 

[pulpfiction1]

if he is safe from other predetors and your able to feed him,wait it out and see how it goes

How will he know if it's food or yur fingers in front of its face. .....does he bite anyway ?can fish smell?

Does he have ich?  I had a tang with it so bad it was on his eyes.  If so, he may have been itchy, and now perhaps he is worse and giving up??  Or perhaps a reaction to high nitrates or something irritating him (banded coral shrimp will rip off their close with high amonia or something)

Water tests are fine... Does have ich but his eyes were always clear. Until a couple days ago.

keep an eye on it sounds like hes not gonna make is. dont let it die in the rocks so you cant find it

What other fish do you have?? is a more aggressive fish picking on it??

 

[Neopimp]

Yellow Tang that leaves it alone... 2 clowns some chromis and a royal gramma...

He is by far the largest. 

So is it humane to let it waste away and starve.. or should I re enact the Old Yeller finale

"Nah Mah, I'll do it .. its my fish"

Some reefers. Say to feed garlic flakes  or go get some garlic clove and look up making garlic for current food.  But he said he still lost his

 

[Neopimp]

He gets garlic soaked nori and the omega garlic flake and the new live spectrum sinking pellets and the odd brine shrimp cube.

At least he used to.

 

[lewis844]

I dont think the garlic will help it anyway sound like it might be time for the big flush

 

[Neopimp]

unforturnately I think you are right  We shall see over the next couple days
