What could cause blindness or partial blindness?
I've had the green chromis for ~1.5 years. He's in a 33 gallon cube with 4 other fish (yellow coris wrasse, a clownfish, a firefly, and a diamond back goby.
The fish changed profoundly as it matured. His fins are very fancy these days. He began to hide nearly all the time. Nowadays when feeding and maneuvering around the tank, I'd swear this fish is blind or nearly so. He seems to feel his way around and find the floating frozen food and pellets in a feeding ring as if not by sight.
I can't see any signs of anything on any of the fish in this tank, nor other fish acting unhealthy. No one is flashing.
There was a fish in this tank that may have had flukes, but impossible to say. It was a starki and I think unlikely the fish was contaminated, it came directly out of a rigorous QT (medicated tanks) from an LFS.
