goldfish with black eye?

Question

I have a goldfish with one black eye. It covers the whole eye but the other eye is ok.
Is it damaged or infected?
Is it contagious for other fish?
Can it b treated?

Answer 1

My calico oranda has 2 black eyes and this is perfectly natural. If the color is recent, try to determine if his/her behviour is different. Does it seek food as well as it did previously? I've never heard of a disease that causes this symptom, but I'm not an authority on fish diseases. Hope he's ok. :)

Answer 2

I used to have the same problem as U do with Ur fish. It might be some dizziness. It's when U refresh or change water for the fish, but they can't react to the new environment immediately. The eyes always turn back to normal after a few hours or days. I don't think U should worry about that too much. However, if U feel it's still contagious for other fish, then U better separate Ur patient, just in case.

Answer 3

It depends on how long he has had it for. I had an angel fish and when he started to bite the heads off my neon tetras and the fins off the other fish i decided to move him to a tank on his own. When we tried to catch him in the net he kept swimming into the tank and ended up with a blue nose.

Answer 4

It sounds like a pirate goldfish.

Answer 5

As long as its been like that since you got him then it is most likely perfectly fine and just the color of his eye. A lot of calico's have eyes like that but sometimes non calico's have eyes like that too.
