I have 3 clown loaches and one of them has both eyes that are white. I'm not sure if it's a fungus because it doesn't look like cotton. They're perfectly round, but white. I'm sure he's blind too.

I've been trying to get a pic but he keeps hiding at the back of the tank. He still moves well when I try to catch him, so he doesn't appear to be weak.

I haven't seen him eat, so I'm sure he'll get weak soon. He's been like this for about 1-2 weeks.

Any suggestions?

Don't know for sure what to tell you, but it might not hurt to pull the loach and put him into a QT tank and treat with meds for bacteria like maracyn and maracyn 2. If it were my loach, I'd do this just on the long-shot that you might be able to fix what's wrong.
