Black Durgeon Trigger Fish Blind...

[1UCKY]

I have a Black Durgeon Trigger that has suddenly gone blind:frown:! Why? He was always swimming up and about and has always been fed meaty items soaked in garlic and Zoe. Has anyone here had this happen to their fish and did the fish gain it's vision back?

Do you have any venomous fish in your tank?

How do you know it's blind? Is it crashing into things as it's swimming or it just can't find food, even when it's right in front of it face?

You know, right before you wrote this I was thinking maybe the Fox Face stung him? But then again, this has not happened to none of my other fish since he's been with them (almost a year now).

My Louti Grouper tried to eat one of my smaller rabbit fish and it almost killed him. He was crashing into walls and looked like he was ready to check out. He stabilized but even now he can't find food that is right in front of his face. I have to throw it on the bottom of the tank, in the corner, and then he swims around and bumps into it. It's been like this for 2 or 3 months now. And we're talking about a very aggressive and active grouper.

My trigger was hidding for almost a week and it just came our about an hour ago. Do you think this is reversable? I feel so bad for him...

My Louti has been like that for 2 to 3 months now and it hasn't gotten any better. The only good thing about it is that a Louti grouper is a very aggressive and large grouper, which makes it hard to keep certain fish with. Now I can, but it's not like having a real Louti Grouper, which is what I wanted.

Thanks for your input! I guess I'll have to sit back and watch to see what happens.

I hand-fed him tonight and he ate like a pig; he had not eaten for almost a week. I hope he regains his vision back.
