LYNDYLOO Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hi Jimbob, If u look in the Dieases section under the post "Gourami has popeye" u will b able to get some info on there. Or you could do a search on Popeye and see what info u come up with. Good Luck Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcon021 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't want to sound like an expert, but one of my fish had this problem about a week ago. So on saturday i put one table spoon of salt for every 5 gallons and on sunday i started a dose of melafix for 7 days.On wednesday i repeated half the dose of salt. The fish is fine now. I think this was due to an injury to the eye. *Use the advice at your own risk, it worked for me. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 is there any forums specifically for aros? id have a look on there cause ive heard pop-eye (isnt it dropeye?) is quite common in them so im sure there would be a fair bit of info out there in all those little aro freak brains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 http://arowanaclub.com/forum/ theres just one i picked out of the list and you could have a wee look through there to see if theres anything that looks worthwhile? if you catch it early on its fixable i think, hope s/he gets better!

Caper Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Glad your fishy is doing well considering the eye problem! Did I read it here...but those with more experience will tell you...but I thought it was something that they are prone too...but I could be wrong!

sharn Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 apparently they are prone to it because theyre always looking down below :-? poor bugger i know i wouldnt want my eye popping out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
