AboutShorty Expertise ~my dad got mad and took away my internet. dont kno when ill have it back. sorry...~
I will answer all questions as best I can, and if I am unsure of the answer, I will be willing to do research. I can answer questions about tetras, especially neon tetras. I can also answer questions on common diseases and parasites and how to treat them, and tank setups, maintenance, and cleaning. I can provide info. on cichlids (including breeding), goldfish, raising and breeding fancy guppies, and feeding your fish. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I will research and tell you my findings.
Experience I am 16 years old, but I have owned at least one fish tank since I was in elementary school. I now have a tank dedicated to raising and breeding fancy guppies, with much success. I have another tank with goldfish, which I’ve had the longest, and a larger tank with convict cichlid cichlids, which I have successfully bred, jewel cichlids, and an oscar. I’ve also raised and bred other cichlids as well. I used to have two other tanks, one with angel fish, and the other with tetras, which I recently got rid of. I’ve raised other fish such as catfish and gouramis along the way too. Since I have had fish so long I know much about diseases, and parasites, and how to treat them.
At the time i am writing this now i have:
1 Oscar
2 Jewel Cichlids
1 betta
6 goldfish
1 Kuhli loach
1 Rainbow shark
1 pleco
25 guppies
6 adult convict cichlids
30 young convict cichlids
Organizations I am hoping to volunteer at Hawk Creek.
Education/Credentials im only 16.... but I've been on the honor role my whole life(averages in the mid 90's), and im taking college courses in highschool.

Question I owe three black moore goldfish, one is a couple weeks older than the two baby black moore fish. This morning I checked on my fish and there eyes where ok... By the time I got home from school, the two baby fish have an white eye on there left eye. The older fish is fine. What is the white eye caused by? How is it treated able? Are they going to die? Also, I read on the internet that sometimes the eye will fall out and they will be ok. If you can get back to me I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Answer Hey vicki! if their whole eye is infected it could be from parasites, and i would suggest using something like MelaFix or some other parasite killer. u should look for any visible parasites in the tank to try to identify the cause and narrow down the treatment to one that can be more effective. Also, sometimes just improving water condition can cure cloudy eyes. so i would do like, a 70% water change. One last thing that can cause cloudy eyes is a bacterial infection, but with antibiotics it can be cured, or at least helped. it doesn't seem like your black moore has pop eye which would make the eye fall out, because you would most definitely see the eye swelling and looking as if it were popping out of its head. u should try everything i suggested, and the cloudy eyes should go away. if anything changes, or you need to know anything else, let me know! ^_^
