My largest fish, and of good Japanese blood, has developed a hazy film
look to her eyes. They may be a little bugged out too. She obviously
can still see well enough to see floating food and seems just fine in
all other ways.
Anyone ever heard of this?
She is over 24 inches long, and will come up and suck on your finger
if you stick it in the water. My 8 & 11 yr old grandsons get the
biggest kick out of this. I got the biggest kick out of a 17 yr old
nephew flinching when she tried to do it to him. I had told him they
have no teeth.
TIA for any suggestions or information.

Hi Nan,

Earlier this year Ingrid mentioned that cloudy eyes can mean heavy slim
coat. Is there salt in the pond? If so, how much? Is she acting odd in any
other way? How about the other fish in the pond? ~ jan

Hi Jan, All the other fish look great, we can finally see them all!!
DH put in a UV light last week. She is healthy and active in all
other ways. We had put salt in the pond as they were coming out of the
winter slowdown. It has surely been diluted by heavy rains and
pumping off several inches of depth 3 or 4 times.
DH says he put in 20 #'s for 2500 gallons.
Still open to ideas.
