Pygmy with no eye?

[Hayden2205]

I was looking into my tank today and say my group of 5 pygmy Cory's eating a algae wafer. When I looked a bit closer I realized one was missing a eye! It doesn't seem distressed or impaired. When I put my net next to it it swims away. It seems fine. I just don't know how it happened. Should I do anything?

As long as it doesn't get infected, should be OK.

Fish can live perfectly fine without an eye. You just need to make sure the water is clean so it doesn’t get infected. I wonder how that even happened!

Hi, I’ve had several fish that only had one eye & they’ve lived perfectly well. One of my one eyed aspidoras females was my best breeder, maybe it was that the males could sneak up on her j/k
