Problem: One eye is definetly bigger than the other. He seems to be thriving, however. He doesn't tend to close the eye that is small. He can also still target, and he can eat. Sometimes, it seems he is able to pop it out a bit. But then it just goes back in, so I dunno.

He's been like this for a while. I didn't think it was a problem because he was eating and ddrinking still. I even asked the breeder and he said it was "pick of the litter." I just wana know what you guys think, and if there is any way to fix it.
 
i actually have the same thing going on wtih my male hoehnelli right now.

He somehow injured his eye while away for breeding.


he keeps it open, uses it, reacts when i touch that side, eats drinks, just fine.

Im just wondering if theres an internal injury that is causing him to keep it retracted some....
