I'm on day 7 of 2.5 Copper Power. I just noticed this eye issue. I plan to put them in my second QT tank on day 15 and do 2 weeks prazipro. Should I veer off course now and address this? The fish acts fine. He's eating well and playing with his tank mate. He doesn't seem to be breathing abnormally. His other eye is normal. I'm not sure how long this has been a thing. He hides in the pvc elbow when I am near the tank. I had to sit there for 30min to get this pic.

Please Advise...

I have Focus - Metroplex and Kanoplex on deck. The former expired 2 months ago and Kanoplex doesn't have a date but was purchased at the same time.

This is likely the result of an injury and will require treatment and happens often in a quarantine tank where there is pc pipes and other blunt objects.
Maracyn which is ethromyacin will work. Not maracyn oxy or maracyn 2

Thanks vette I'll grab some tomorrow. Yesterday, the heater came off of its mount and was banging against the glass and he was over there playing with it. I bet it happened then.
