Cloudy Yellow tang Eyes

[Amberlynn3019]

I bought a new yellow tang for my tank, he’s been in here for 4 days and looks like his eyes are starting to get cloudy, but I can’t tell for certain...any suggestions??

Have you done a freshwater dip to check for flukes?

This would be my next move— it almost looks like flukes but a close up view of the eye that isn’t blurry would be helpful. Ultimately, a freshwater dip in a dark bucket would be advisable regardless. You’re looking for sesame seed looking things. The dark bucket makes them more visible.

Okay I will try that, sorry for the picture, he’s quite active.

If it turns out for certain ‘not’ to be flukes, I’d try API Erythromycin— good for eye problems, right @4FordFamily ?

I’d use kanaplex or nitrofuracin green for eye infections if flukes are not at play. Continue antibiotics for 10-14 days.
