White film over eye?

SO bought 6 tiger barbs today, and when he got them home we noticed that one of them has a film over one of its eyes- it's more like the clear eyeball part is somewhat opaque.

The fish otherwise looks fine. We have it quarantined right now though. Is it just blind or should we be worried about illness?

I don't think it's blind, but it has a disease.
It sounds like cloud eye, your local LFS should carry some medication for that.
I don't know specifically, hopefully someone else will come along that knows more.
I've never dealt with cloud eye before.

You did the right thing by putting him in a QT tank!

Sorry i cant help you further and sorry about your fishy being ill, i hope he gets better!

I'm wondering if we should just take him back to the petstore?

That would be an easy option. Just keep up doing water changes if you want to heal him up though!

ohhh poor fish... i love tiger barbs! i have 10 of them and they are great! i would take care of him and make him better instead of just taking him back to the LFS. i was reading that antibiotics help but couldn't find what kind.

good luck!
