Hey guys,

So, I have had my Darwin clown for about a month now, he was one of the first two fish I put into my 20 gallon tank that has been up for about 2-3 months now. (The other fish is a clown as well). A couple weeks after getting him, I began to notice a blue film on one of his eyes. Hoping it would heal itself, I let it be. He still is able to see well - at feeding time he swims directly to the food and he isn't swimming in circles or anything.

However, now it has moved to the second eye and I am becoming concerned. The other clown is showing no symptoms. The Darwin seems otherwise healthy. He swims around fine and seems rather happy playing in currents and such.

Should I be concerned? How can I treat this? I am rather new and this is my first fish illness.
 
Can you post a pic of this? When you say a "blue film"... would you say his eyes are getting cloudy? Are the eyes protruding outward, like they are "popped out"?
