I posted this a few hours ago, but there have been a few new developments and I figured this was a better way to get more answers. Here is the previous question:
I have a normal everday goldfish, Goldie. She, not really sure its a she, is about 3-4 inches long, she is in a 10 gallon tank with her tank mate, Klouse-same size, pretty much same fish. They have been in the same tank together for over a year. Their water gets changed on a regular basis, its kept clean. They are also feed as they should be, except for her, she is fed shelled peas occasionally, because she has a swim bladder probelm. Well anyways, lately I noticed that her right eye has started to bug out. It is about twice the size out as it should be. I have no idea why its like this. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reason why this might happen, or if this has happened to them before. I plan on calling the pet store tomorrow and seeing if they know what is the problem, but until then I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
Everyone said that is was a disease called ‘popeye’, which I read into and did sound correct. I even order a thing of medication from petsmart, still plan on calling the pet store, once they open. Well my husband just looked a few minutes ago and there is a white ‘zit-esk’ like thing right above her eye. Is this go alone with the symptoms of ‘popeye’ or is this something more serious or what? I haven’t separated the two fish, because my husband and I figure if she has something so does the other one and we would have to treat them both anyways. Please Help? It doesn’t help that I am sorta a hypochondriac, and it says this infection can be given to humans
