Goldy and Fuzz steve
This is goldy, I went away for 3 weeks and came back after mum said goldy was acting depressed. I have a closer look and goldy has a thing white film/fuzz on her eye, today that fuz is more obvious. A similar thing was on the bottom of the tank I cleaned that, but what about goldy, it looks like a cataract but its on the outside of the eye. what do you all recken it is??? and what should I do.

Goldy is around 7-9 years old and I dont wanna lose him/her

do a 50% partial water change.
problem is probably ammonia or nitrite spike.
I would test both of those.
Also add some shellgrit to aquarium gravel to keep pH stable.
Find out how filter was cleaned.
most likely was cleaned under tap and has been destroyed.
only use water from aquarium to clean filter in future to avoid drama.
I would add salt at 1 tablespoon per 20L to help eye heal.
Problem is most likely ammonia or nitrite though. Can you test for either? If not take a water sample to pet shop.
Solution is the same. Partial water change until fish acts normal again.
google nitrite for more info

dude when u have a pet for as long as I have had goldy the last thing u want it to do it die, right!

The PH is going up
as for cleaning the filter the cold water is acidic 6.0 or less and hot is 7.8 - 8.0 i use a mix of both so should be round 7.0

The water changes has made him/her pick up a bit so i'll see how it goes, if in a day or 2 no change then i'll do the salt or similar.

Thx for advise pplz
