Hello, I recently rehomed a male betta splendens who is quite unable to see. I have little information on his previous diet/water conditions/general care, but there is obviously an issue with his eyes. The little guy is pretty active and curious in his new tank, no other issues are present right now. His current home is a five gallon hex tank; it's filtered, heated, lighted, and lightly planted, water conditions are as follows-
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 20 ppm
pH: 6.5
Hardness (GH): 3
Alkalinity (KH): 4
Is this cloudy eye or something else? He's not that old so I'd guess it's not cataracts, but I'd really appreciate more experienced fishkeepers giving their opinion! His pupils are opaque and glazed-over. I've included pictures of course- I apologize for their quality, but due to technical issues, it's all I can offer at the moment:
Thank you for reading.
