Really a Question for Tom, How exactly can one tell if a fish has a blind eye, I have a kole tang that has blacked out eye, He's perfectly normal very healthy still picks on algae like they do, So is my kole tang blind i cant see the retana just a black cloud over his eye!

Is he blind like a suspect?

[tommo]

Colour loss or dark pigmentation on the side of the dodgy eye, missing close range food, cloudiness or cataract like reflection from the eye, some fish swim eratically and circle, lots of varied symptoms TBH

Probably blind M8

cheers tom no real disfunctions that i can spot could be cataracts as he copes very well when hunting food

Yeh that what i thought ... Cheers for the 2nd opinion

[tommo]

black eyes is unusual. maybee its some form of cancer or parasite causing excess pigmentation

Tis could a sting from a lion fish be the problem?

[tommo]

possibly, and tangs are noted for ocassionally nipping

If it is, chances are it will recover unless its been really severely damaged
