Eye color fade

[Greengirl]

I have a zebra angel that is two generations removed from a wild caught one. It used to have red on half its eyes. Now for some reason the eye color is all gone. Attached us what she used to look like. I have treated her recently with metro for a hex problem and she is all better now, except for her colorless eyes. So I have a couple questions:
Has this happened to any of your fish?
Will the color ever come back?
Did metro cause this?
Does it signify a bigger problem for her?

Here is now. See, no red. Any thoughts? And don't say it's because she's swimming sideways

Are you looking at the first picture or the second picture? There is no red in the eyes of the angel in the second picture.

Was there an exorcism mixed in there that you left out?

I'd look at that first.

It seems to be a sign of stress or illness.

Its deff. Stress..the color can come back immediately if stress is gone..they can go from red to silver(eyes)..but can go back to red..probly the meds..the black line can even go away..

 

[harlowe777]

Where an african cichlids body color will change from stress..angels body color dont change so much..but there eyes will..africans color will dull..angels eyes can do the same..STRESS..

Very interesting. I guess the stress of having hex and being treated for it. I hope you guys are right and the eye color comes back.

Might take a while if like africans offering incentives like a mate might make color come back faster. Make um feel safe and dominant also might work to speed it up, if already healed/treated.

This one is yet to be sexed so I don't know what kind of mate to offer it, but not a bad idea.

You can try either one if you have ones that are sexed already.
