New live stock always end up with cloudy eyes

[jackalcleo]

Hi,

Have a stable FOWLR now but it seems that whenever I add new livestock it always end up with cloudy eyes.

After that the entire eyes just "gone" and can see the socket and eventually RIP.

The rest of the fishes are fine with no problem.

Any similar experience??

My tank has the same problem previously... Lowering the nitrate helps... So I dose NOPOX... Mine is a FOWLR as well... Also, clearing the tank of particles seem to help as well... Guess some form of irritants?

Try adding in sand will help to bring down the nitrate. Maybe it can help. Though i dun have this issue with fishes but i got issue with 🦐 when even i add in they will die within days.

Red Sea NOPOX... You can Google... It's a good product, if I must say...

I dose daily... Dosage depends on nitrate level...

Cloudy eyes usually infected by flukes from my experiences especially with new fishes. Fishes will try to rub their cheeks against rocks frequently to dislodge the flukes.Try 5 mins dechlorinated fresh water bath then examine bath water for whitish flakes which are burst flukes due to osmotic effect. More effective way to eradicate flukes is to dose with praziquentel but not to be used with any tube worms though.
