Sick Red Empress

Question
I have a female red empress and both her eyes have like a cloudiness to them and now she is starting to get blotches on her and seems to have quit eating. I have put her in a seperate tank from my other cichilds but don't know what to treat. Hope you can help.

Answer
Hi Tina,
Isolating her was a good move. Most likely the cloudiness on her eyes was the result of being attacked by other fish. Give her time alone and she should heal.
