Sick Fish- Cotton Eye?

[eternitybc]

Thanks- this is more like a few hours. I'm 90% sure at this point its a bristle worm- I can't find any reference to a disease that would do this to his eye. His eye looks normal size and clarity, just with "stuff" coming out. Same with his mouth. By stuff, its a firm solid filament, not cotton like.

And I'm pretty sure he's getting over it- it must have happened recently, because in the last 2 hours he's back out in the tank (though hesitant), eating, and I *think* some of them are falling off. Man it looks painful

I hope he recovers ok.. there were so many, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost some or all of his sight. I'M feeling better though! I thoguth i had lost him, or my tank had contracted some deadly disease!
