ryanjury Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Generally it is a sign of an infection.. Are the eyes white and bulging? Is it in both eyes or only one? Any other symptoms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hmm I don't really know then.. Have you tried googling "pop eye in tropical fish"? That might give you some more info apart from that I don't think ive seen it.. I thought it might be what my fish sometimes get from grazing against a rock but that is white on the eyes.. Pop eye is generally linked to water quality problems, but if all the other fish are fine could just be something random with one particular fish.

herefishiefishie Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Get your water tested for a start. More than likely a bacterial infection which is very hard to treat. Are any other fish doing the same? You can try treating with Oxytetracycline. If you are going to treat, use low lighting. You will have to do a few water changes, as medicine will kill of bacteria in filters, also the drug I mentioned is less effective in high ph.
