Hey all,

I was feeding my fish today, and I noticed that I have a Platy with a swollen eye. It looks fine, just the right eye is swollen up.

Stock list...

1 Xenocara Pleco
6 Platy
1 Platy Juvenille
2 Bunch Hygro
4 Crypts

Parms...

Ammonia - 0.0
Nitrite - 0.0
GH - 120
KH - 80
~ 0.66 w/g Flourescent on 12 hours a day

I haven't added anything to the tank in over a month, the tank has been set up for about 3 months. My last water change was a week ago, I normally do a 30% every two weeks.

Any ideas?

could have scratched it on decor and gotten a small infection. As its an eye, and they are delicate things, i would treat with melafix or pimafix. you will likely have some loss of clarity, but fish function fine without an eye, so dont worry
