JoelATX Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 About 10 days ago, maybe two weeks, my spotted hawk was kind of upside down floating on its side, and a hermit crab was messing with his left eye. I check him with a feeding stick and he moved, but he was kind of ridged, spikes up and tense. I feed him and he gobbled up 4 or so freeze-dried planktons, and went back to his normal self. His eye was a little swollen, over the next few days he has been eating well. The eye got a little worse, then stated to go down. Last night it was a little larger. This morning one part of the eye has a spot. :-( He is still swimming and eating very well. Swimming so well that catching him could be difficult. Ammonia: 0.0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: maybe a little over zero, so close I can't tell Salinity: 1.025Phosphate: 0 Temp: 79 Other livestock in tank: Clown, frogspawn, torch, zoas, snails, brittel star and hermit crabs. His other eye is fine, but what should be my next step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Sorry to hear that but outside of catching and putting in a QT and treating with some antibiotics not much outside of feeding it with immune boosting food additives like garlic or medicated food which I personally would be careful.

Niko's Reef Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I stand behind DR.Gs foods. Safe for reef tanks. We use it in all of our tanks, and a lot of our customers use it. I just throw some Brightwell garlic in with it. Never had a problem with getting fish to eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelATX Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 I have some Kent Extreme Garlic and Selcon. About once a week I add the Selcon to some freeze dried plankton. Will the kent work as antibiotic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
