Can a fish live if it only has one eye?

Question

my fishes' eye popped out. just wanna know if it will be ok or if i should take action

Answer 1

Well my cousins fish doesnt have any eyes... it has no quality of life, doesnt eat and shud probably be put out of its misery but there you go....

Well how did the eye fall out? Was it an injury? Or did it look a bit funny before it went?

Either way, use a general tonic to kill any floating infections and common diseases such as "pop eye"... And DO A WATER CHANGE... Just because poor water is the root cause of nearly ALL fish diseases...

I hope it was just an injury but treat it with a general tonic anyway so to stop it getting infected, and KEEP A LOOKOUT ON THE REMAINING EYE... TREAT IT IMMEDIATLEY IF ITS SWOLLEN OR CLOUDY!!! Your pet shop advsior will be able to help you decide which is best when you desribe his symptoms to them...

But if your fish is left with one healthy eye, he should be okay... Good Luck x*x

Answer 2

Yes, I had one that was blind, and he was helped by another fish, that would nudge it to the top when I fed them. So one with one eye should  be ok.

Answer 3

Yes.  One of the local fish stores I go to has a one eyed fish in their show tank.  It's been there as long as I can remember.  Seems perfectly fine.

Answer 4

It will cure on its own if its not that bad. It depends on the fish if it can handle dealing with one eye. Poor fish

Answer 5

first what fish is it and second ya it will just be half blind

Answer 6

dont worry about it

but it might have trouble finding food now some you will have to help it

also, it might be bullied by other fish so watch out for them

your fish should be back to normal in a few days

but observe!

hope that helped!
