Cloudy eye can be in response to poor water quality or bacterial infection, if your other fish are fine your water quality is most likly ok, start treating with a broad spectrum antibacterial, if you can isolate the fish into a hospital tank that would be best, myaxin by water life at a double dose works well as does tri sulfa tablets at 1 tablet/20L

when i was useing ivomec that wild green was in the same corner where i was putting medication .I think this fish got some on its body and after that its change is colour from green to dark black . Do ivomec can burn skin of fish or its illness or sing of stress

no not really, if you have tri sulpha use that first if not and you cant buy it go get some myaxin.

TRI SULPHA IS AN ANTI BIOTIC, AS A RESULT IT ONLY WORKS ON BACTERIA INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL.

in the years before penicillian (pre second world war) the only really effective broad spectrum antibiotics were sulphur derivivtive, tri sulfa is a mix of 3 diffrent sulpha componds. its broad specturm and non specific so it will knock your filter around quite badly, much worse then other anti bacterials, in a hospital tank with daily or twice daily massive water changes this sin't a problem, i wouldn't use it in a display tank or any large tank which NEEDS a biological filter
