There's something up with Killer the wrasse. He was definitely fine yesterday, but today when we got back from work we noticed he has puffy, cloudy eyes. He seems quite distressed with it as he is darting about and it looks like he can't see very well. He has been a vary calm and nosy fish up to now and never seemed bothered by us looking at him. By having a wee look online we have found a few things it could be; gas behind the eyes, popeye, or a bacterial infection.
Whatever it is, we have a problem. Ian was moved into the main tank a week or so ago as he was getting chased by Jazmine and was choosing to hide up at the top of the tank rather than in the rocks or sand. We thought he would be happier in the main tank and it seems he is. However, we now have sickly Killer in the same tank as Jazmine. Jazmine can't go in the main tank incase she has any infections etc but now she is at risk of catching the same infection/ problem as Killer. All we can do it wait and hope Killer will get over it, and then keep our fingers crossed that Jazmine is tough enough not to be affected.
I will keep you posted....

Update:
Killer looked a bit happier yesterday and only one eye seems to be cloudy. He has some whiteness to his scales, but it looks like he is on the mend :-)
Sad news.... poor wee Killer got alot worse and his fins went all raggy and he couldn't swim. Jasmine was getting very distressed by him and kept trying to nudge him back and into safety of the rocks. We took him out just after he passed away. Poor wee fishy.
