    Hey guys, I just got out of my speech class and the lights had jsut turned on everything was going fine... But i noticed when the little guy came out from the anemone that his eyes were big. He looks like the goldfish. I really am worried about him because hes a pretty cool tankmate. What should i get or target feed him? Whats this called? Could it be from the condy? There getting closer and closer and he is starting to host so any one have any idea please help K+ from me...?:confused::confused:

    swollen eyes are usually the result of a bacteria infection.

    Sounds like pop-eye to me. You need to treat him with erythromycin.

    without wrongly medicating your fish, you NEED a picture for best result or fill out the form Packleader posted. I wouldn't go dumping stuff into a tank w/o "knowing".
