thank you both for your speedy response.
the water may have have had poorer stats before, I may have been overfeeding them? I am not sure.

stats are:
ammonia - 0
ph- 7
nitrite - 0
I don't believe I own a nitrate test? did not come with the kit ??
My main concern is the popeye.
I have been using the Melafix for 4 days ( 7 day treatment cycle ) and do not see any improvment on their eyes. They are definitely protruding.

I do not believe the size of my fish are an issue, I would like to get more catfish when the tank is stable enough to do so.

I have been instructed to do a 25 percent water change on the 7th day of treatment.

Is there anything else I can do to assist their healing?
