That's an infection called pop eye actually. It's a bacterial infection that often starts in the fishes liver. It usually responds well to a good antibiotic such as Maracyn TC or ampicillin. Just treat as directed on the package.

That occurred to certainly one of my fish. I have been given some drugs - bypass to the puppy keep and ask for it, they're going to have the potential that may assist you with the call, or in case you e mail me, i will grant you the call the following day morning -... your tank would have some micro organism that impacts' your fish's eye. I even have 18 fish in a similar tank and that's the only one whose eye had swollen up, and after 4 months this is nevertheless swollen. in the beginning up, that fish grew to become into hiding each and every of the time and does not come out even to feed, then after a pair of couple of weeks it form of sounds like it forgot there is a few thing incorrect and now it form of feels as happy as each and every person else.

It is a common infection in fish. Your local pet store will have the medication to help the fish. It must be used before the eye ruptures.

Tis popeye. It started from as a fungal problem. you are probably going to want to buy some meds for it. You'd might want to pick it up and act fast before it gets worse.
