Bi-color angelfish has a reflective eye...

[Katie Kat]

This might sound weird, so bare with me. My bi-color angel had popeye about 3-4 months ago. She recovered, ad has shown no signs of illness. However, he eye that supposedly healed, has turned into a "mirror". Her other eye has a dark black center. But this eye looks like a mirror. She seems a little more aggressive than normal, but nothing out of the ordinary. No spots that I can see. Her eye healed after her treatments. So I don't know what could have caused this, or even, what THIS is?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I have a unicorn tang with a similar affliction. Had popeye, which appeared to heal up, but now the eye is a silver disc. Has been that way now for over a year. I am assuming the fish is blind in that eye, though ability to hone in on food appears unimpaired.

I've seen that before and surmised it to be eye damage of some sort depending on how bad the Popeye was. I know a pressure build up in human eyes can cause glaucoma and that Popeye is caused by a gas build up behind the eye (I think behind rather than in it).

Probably a cataract.
