Is it normal for a black moore's eyes to really bulge out?

Question

Ive had my moore for about a month, and i know their eyes are supposed to be large, but they have seriously bubbled out, almost like they exploded to be honest from the inside...

it looks as if its eyes are tearing away from its face almost in a big bubble...and im not sure he can see, he has not gone after any food ive given him. it looks like both his eyes have just exploded and its white inbetween his eyeball and his face.

A second goldfish has also developed this problem and i am unsure as to why it started and how to get rid of it i have doesed the tank with a medication for "pop eye" I will be doing a water change today but am concerened as to how much water should i change? should i add more medication? is there a brand that will have better results then others? it is a 55 gallon long non planted tank, well aireated by two 18 inche airstones and a plastic decoration i use a 30-60 power filter by aqua-tech the temperature is kept to 72-75 degrees. Thanks for any help

Answer 1

Moor has protruding eyes but disease could cause it's eyes to pop out even further.

A normal moor would look like the one in the picture, in the link from the first response or a top view of my own panda moor below.

If your fish has eyes that pop out further then that, it's probably suffering from something and either internal swelling or fluid retention is causing the eyes to pop even further. Unfortunately I can't diagnose for you which specific disease you're facing but you can try using a general anti-bacterial medication as a first step.

Answer 2

Yes, it's completely normal for their eyes to bulge way out. Here's an example:

Yes...they are bred to be that way
