Tank: 45 gallon
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
pH: 7.4
Water changes: 20% at least every-other week
Inhabitants: 1 african butterflyfish, 1 gold barb, 1 black neon, 1 neon tetra, 1 blood parrot, 1 pleco, 1 spotted raphael, 1 striped raphael, 1 clown loach. No new fish have been added recently (more than six months). I have, however, fish waiting in quarantine to be added to this tank.
Symptoms:
Noticed cloudy (milky looking) eye on striped raphael two days ago.
Observed same eye symptom on clown loach yesterday. Loach also has tail which appears milky white at edge, some tears in edge. Tail does not appear bloody or to be shrinking (yet, at least).
Fish are eating and active, no out of the ordinary behaviour observed.
I suspect a bacterial infection, but am unsure of diagnosis and how to proceed.
