Need help, how should I treat this kind of eye parasites?
Have tried Metronidazole and it doesnt work very well.
And I want to know is the white line pattern next to the eyes consider normal or is it actually some kind of diseases?

Re: [Help] Pleco eye parasites alike snow flake
I have had the same disease in other L-95s and other Pseudorinelepis sp., but never in other plecos. I consulted a friend, who is a pediatric ophthalmologist, and we both believe this is a form of uveitis, an autoimmune inflammation of the eye, which can sometimes be triggered by infection (in humans, you can get uveitis from cat scratch disease, e.g.). I was unable to cure my fish, and they slowly (months) wasted away....
