Both of his eyes are popped......... He does seem a bit "different" somehow, I can't quite put my finger on it though. I'm going to obsessively watch him tonight when my toddler goes to bed and won't bug me. He's eating, he's hanging with his buddies, but his eyes are really bugged and something just isn't right............ I love these damn little things.......I hate to see something happen to him, especially if its something I did wrong. I can't THINK of anything I've done that would hurt him though. All I did was move him from the 30 gallon to the 10. No one else has the pop eye problem and they actually seem to be quite comfortable in the 10 gallon. Hanging out together more and all. They even seem to like the snail (they hang around him sometimes and all the fish share (read: steal) his food.
I just don't know......... I can't test for nitrates till tomorrow but even still, would THAT cause this?? The last time I noticed this, I had added a tiny amount of salt to the tank for ich.....and rapidly removed it. No other fish in my 30 gallon are having health problems. No one in my 10 has had any problems.....and fry are supposed to be super sensitive, no? So, if nothing has affected them, I wouldn't think its a water quality problem so much as a bacteria or illness or something......... But I'm always johnny on the spot with my water changes, same amount each time, temp doesn't fluctuate too much (its pretty warm because of summer so I cool it at each change by about 2 degrees and I run a fan and keep the lid up), I check my params, I always wash my hands and rinse well before I put them in the tank, nothing foreign has been in there..........so wth?
