Bump!! his eye is less bloodshoot il try to post a pic tomorrow before his eye falls out or something.... i put some aquarium salt in and bumped the temp to se if it helps

That sounds like all you can do. Sounds like he injured his eye somehow, the best of luck~

How big is your ID shark? It may have run into something... Salt and temp raise sound like a good idea. You could try adding some melafix, it helps with bacterial infections.

Good luck.

Could be a bacteria, forget the name of it but melafix might help. =

hes about 9+ inches ..i'm thinking he prob poked his eye... but now its got worse/better hes got a growth comming off his eye but he still seems happy i dont understand and its hard to like hospitalize a big fish.. this fish is in my 130g tank can his "mushroum looking growth"off his eye contaminate my water??

Im no expert but it sounds like its just the cornea repairing its self, and I dont think it would have any effect on your water
