I have a lion fish, puffer and a rabbit fish that look like they are starting to get coudy eye. The puffer i put in a bucket to try to treat since he seemed to have ich and then got the cloudy eye. He has gotten a little better after almost 2 weeks of being in there (eats now and is more active).
What should i do?
Answers:
You have a water quality problem that is weakening your fish and they are now suffering from bacterial problems. Start by changing 10% of the water daily and consider adding a garlic and vitamin supplement to your tank. The fish will start to recover on their own as the improved water quality strengthens them.

There is a medicine you can use --I can't remember the name, but it comes in tablets and is from the same company that produces Melafix. It cleared up my fish's cloudy eye in two days.
Because marine tanks are so fragile you are going to want to consult an expert. There are medications you can get from a petstore but when it comes to marine tanks they tend to kill your fish and your live rock. Good luck.
There is a tank additive that you can buy at wal-mart (cheaper than pet stores) I can't remember what the name is. You will see the tank treatments there on that isle. Just read the labels, they are all pretty detailed in explanation. Just be sure and read all of the instructions carefully to make sure that the product is safe for your type of fish. You might also want to try a search for " aquarium fish ". Theres no end to the information on this subject.
Get your water tested. Cloudy eye is a general sign that the quality in your water has become poor. I would start conducting water changes.probably about 25%.
