Eye infection question

[shavo]

HI all, my ick drama for now is over, however, I am not defenite yet but it looked like my scopas tang may have had a little bit of a milky colored eye. Not 100% sure yet it just looked like it mildly, I will know defenitely today when i get home from work.

If it is an eye infection, what do I do? any products or leave well enough alone?

any suggestions?

should I go back to having an oscar tank ? they never die.

Hi Shavo, I'm going to move this over the the GRD for more experienced advice.

IME, the milky eye occurs due to either pH changes (often resulting in swelling as well) or a bacterial infection. It usually heals on its own given the fish is not further stressed, but sometimes antibiotics is recommended (must be administered in a seperate tank).
