henward Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I cant get a photos, the thing swims too fast. but its one eye looks normal, the other looks like its gonna explode and pop out! its about 2 to almost 3 times the size of the other eye, and slightly cloudy, while the other eye is just....normal! water params ok. no visible cuts or injuries. This is the borneo tiger that almost died 3 weeks ago, swimming upside down and staying still laying on its side for days. Suddenly it starts swimming and eats again. Anyone seen this before?

Aaron-Betta Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 May want to watch your language dude, the Mods may not like your thread title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Quite right, I didn't like your title so edited it. An eye popping out can be from an internal infection. I am not up on the different meds so can't suggest which would be appropriate. Hopefully someone else can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 aaahhh!! what do i do? anyone help me! lol You can treat with antibiotic food, which is not available in NZ. Add antifungal, antibiotic chemicals to the water and hope it helps, which it probably won't. Mostly all you can do is wait and watch. It will either recover on its own or get worse until the fishes loses its eye then recovers or dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
