White glaze over eyes?

ok, it could be that they have reached their max point where their bio loads have increased to a max level, or the other fish could have. Whatever the case, I am sure the water changes being moved up a notch will address the problem.

It could have been caused by a little bump on the eye during some aggressive pecking and chasing, and if so, increasing the water changes a bit will be good for the healing of that too. Cloudy eye would more than likely affect both eyes and probably more than just one discus.

I will increase the water changes; can't hurt especially if his eye is hurt. Yes the bio load may impede his healing process and could make it worse for his eye. Thanks for the advice.

These fish have been in this 55 gallon tank for a year and I have been doing a water change 1/3 to 1/2 once a week for a year, I use a Cascade 1000 water filter, I will keep a close check on them, if I have to I will increase the changes.

Let's rephrase "all is well" lets say parameter wise water is 0 for Nitrates, 0 for Nitrites, 0 for Ammonia, PH is 6.4. Live plants. Changed water 1/3 yesterday which I change once a week. The other discus so far don't seem to have this problem.

I'm not saying your test is wrong, but it's very unusual to have '0' ppm nitrAtes with just a 30-50% weekly water change in a tank that's been set up for a full year. You should have a reading of nitrates in a cycled tank. I do 3 times the water changes you do and my nitrates are about 5 ppm. Just curious is all.

Had my Blue diamond female for 14 months.Half the time her eyes are dark and hazy the other half time they are yellow.Relaxed as any Discus I`ve ever seen seen.Dunno just fiquered she`s moody.

Definetly try to increase the frequency of your water changes. Maybe just do an extra one during the week. It could make a huge difference.

If the cloudy eye is still around, or it is just bothering you, put the particular fish into a quarantine tank and use salt to help heal the eye.
