Sick pyjamas?

[Kaya]

Yesterday I got some fish delivered. All seemed ok. This morning when feeding I noticed one of the new pyjama cardinals alone in a corner. Gave it a closer look and one of it´s eyes are swollen and greyish.

Could this be made by an attack of one of the other pyjamas? They were a bit rough towards the new one last night.
Or is it sick?

Grateful for input!

Bad eye:

Ewww. ... IME cardinals can be jerks, esp when paired/breeding ..
Usually Pajamas seem less aggressive than Bangais (spelling) but can’t rule out the eye trauma was cause by another fish
Cloudy eyes can “possibly” be caused by physical trauma so I’d let that go personally, it can heal by itself within weeks. There is a treatment for cloudy eyes, API makes one, might be Maracyn (1 or 2) Furan, et.

Again, IME for a single cloudy eye, I wait it out but the more opinions the better

One cloudy eye is *usually* due to an injury, often from bumping into a rock when frightened, or from the fishnet used to move them. Be sure that the fish are not continuing to be aggressive to this one, and be sure that its fins are not being damaged. For future reference, it helps to post pictures taken under white light instead of blue.

Thanks for reply and good advice! I will keep my (both relatively good) eyes on the fish and hope for the best.

Update on my sick pyjamas. Unfortunately I haven’t seen it in two days, supposedly lying dead somewhere inside the reef.
