	silver dollar?
opiate Enthusiast Posts: 152 Kudos: 82 Votes: 12 Registered: 30-Sep-2004	Hey, Just lately i have noticed that whenever i put my light on my fish tank 1 of my silver dollars goes absolutely skitz! It does flips, swims on it's side, floats...god to many things to mention, however after a few minutes it's fine! I have also noticed that one of it's eyes has gone all cloudy? is this a disease? I was thinking that it may be possible that, it may be blind in 1 eye, and when i put the light on it freaks out, and swims round franticlly to see it's surroundings? Has anyone else ever had this problem?? Just curious that's all.. Last edited by Adam at 03-Oct-2004 03:37

As for the cloudy eye well I have had this in a few mollies before and what normally happens in my experience is they end up with the fungus plaguing their whole body and in the end die. It must be some kind of disease so watch that the other fish don't catch it. Last edited by tessa38uk at 03-Oct-2004 07:29 http://www.greenspersonalprinting.com/

If you're a responsible fishkeeper, you'll either a)treat the disease (if it has one) or b)return it to your LFS if there's nothing wrong with it. But don't flush a live fish.

They don't cost a lot and don't take to much room. I got one that's 24"x12"x12" with a small filter and 100 watts heater that only cost around twenty pounds to set up. Its well worth thinking about. http://www.greenspersonalprinting.com/
