ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 04:51 PM

Here is a pic of his one eye I think has caterax

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 05:05 PM

OH NO! I think it's pop eye here is the other eye

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 05:06 PM

I know it is a disease, is it treatable?

kbjunior8 · 10-25-2007, 05:14 PM

wow that ooks bad do both the eyes have it because both of these pictures have wierd eyes

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 05:15 PM

nope, just one

kbjunior8 · 10-25-2007, 05:16 PM

which one the first pic?

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 05:18 PM

yeah, but i'm not sure if it is

mesapod · 10-25-2007, 05:25 PM

hmmm maybe try putting some salt in the tank but wait for someone more experiance to come along

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 05:27 PM

okay, I will have to go out to get that. I might put him in a 1 Gallon tank so I can get a mini heater and do daily water changes and add some salt a site said epsom salt, is that the same as aquarium salt?

ikermalli · 10-25-2007, 05:38 PM

somebody on another site suggested he has a bacterial infection in his eye and that I should get medicated food

It does sound like a bacteria infection. Get the water extremely clean and keep it that way. Not sure which meds are best.

anasfire23 · 10-25-2007, 10:25 PM

Epsom salts are not the same as aquarium salt and I wouldn't use it if I were you. Good luck

Ichthius said to use maracyne-two

ikermalli · 10-26-2007, 05:37 AM

for some reason I checked his eye again and he is fine! Was it because I gave him a ten percent water change? I think he may have gotten it from eating one of my tetras

Kyoberr · 10-26-2007, 03:16 PM

Yay! I'm glad he's all better, but I don't know why.

ikermalli · 10-26-2007, 04:22 PM

kbjunior8 · 10-26-2007, 09:15 PM

ikermalli · 10-26-2007, 09:21 PM
