	Ich and two cloudy eyes
warrion_2000 Enthusiast Posts: 257 Kudos: 169 Votes: 1 Registered: 29-Apr-2003	Today I saw some white spots and I quickly added some medication. Its quite cold these days, the temp of the tank was about 72 degrees. I raised it to 78-80 over 4 hours. Now I see that one of my opaline gouramis has slightly clouded eyes. I gave some blood worms and all of them finished them so theres no eating problem. What can cause clouded eyes? Thanks for looking.

If the med stopped the ich you can do a partial water change of 35% of the same temp and pH to dilute the ich med. Salt is not recommended, except on your hamburger, and your current temp is fine. --garyroland.
