    check your ph level right away. I've had ph wipeouts in the past and white eyes are one of the first signs. Even check the water that you are using for water changes. That is where my problem was coming from and my ph would drop from 7 to 3 in less than a couple of hrs. Different fish may react differently to this problem, some seeming normal while some die right away.

    I would do another water change to get the nitrAtes down. Idealy, you should keep them below 20ppm (mg/L).

    And it would be a good idea to check the pH.

    Also, are there any signs of aggression from the other fish?
