Telescope eye goldfish help!?

Question

well my telescope eye goldfish always had this sort of clear bubble for the eye part. i noticed that it was the only right side that was clear. and recently, it sort of just formed a little "ball" inside the bubble. its like one of those silicon things that you find inside of bags of food to keep them fresh. i don't know if this "ball" is bad for the fish. anyone help?

sorry i cant explain it any better.

Answer 1

i might be right and i might be wrong, but my best guess would be that it has eaiter:

damaged it's eye

damaged it's eye and gotten a fungal infection

gotten a bacterial infection

just to be on the safe side, i reccomend you grab some meds from the pet store and treat it for popeye. do a large water change before adding any meds.

sorry i could not be more help.

i wish you the best of luck :)
