    Can you tell from this picture if my tang has eye infection?? It was fine this morning and then tonight i take a look when im giving them a snack and the eye is bulging quite a bit. It likes to dart in between and around the rocks and may have scratched it.... can anyone recommend the best treatment??
    Thanks!

    Is it a newly added fish?

    Pop eye is usually stress related and will go away with proper diet and less stress.


    My cook's fairy wrasse had a little pop eye after putting him in the tank. It went away shortly after he got used to the tank and started eating.
