Just joined the site, it looks great with a lot of useful information. I have read through some of the posts regarding eye problems, but I can't seem to find a post with the same eye issue, so here's my question...
I just got my pygmy about a month ago. She is in a ten gallon aquarium, with a 2.0 light on her for 4 - 6 hours per day. I mist her regularly. She is shedding for the first time!
I noticed that one of her eyes is not alert like the other one. It has been this way for a week, perhaps more. I thought it was normal or would go away, but it hasn't. It seems slightly sunken in, but not too bad. There is no bulge or discharge. The eye is a different color than the other one, like there is something covering it and it is not open as wide. I don't think she can see out of it because when I move my finger around, she doesn't register seeing it, like she does with the other eye. I rinsed it out and used a wet q-tip, but it doesn't have seemed to have done anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what this may be?
I will try to get some pics if I can...
