clown with bubbled eye?

[blayz77]

ok so i added a pair of black and white clowns about 3/4 inch each to my tank last night. ive been testing my waters everyday for a long time ammonia and all that are 0.
i called my lfs once i noticed it and they said the fish was prolly stressed out pretty bad and to treat by doing a formalin bath. so i did i made a formalin bath and let the fish soak for about 30 mins and put her back in the tank.
is there anything else i should do? will my fish be ok? my lfs said to do formailin bath once every 24 hours till its gone..
any help would be apreciated

Formalin baths are pointless for eye problems.
Is it one eye? Is it clouded over? Most likely it is an eye infection resulting from netting the fish at the LFS, and then when you got him home. Do very small water changes over the next couple of days to see if he can heal up on his own. Offer foods soaked in fresh garlic. Look at the garlic info in the FAQ Thread. Feed well, with one meal a day soaked in zoecon or zoe.

yes its only in one eye, it doesnt apear to be clouded over, at least when i first noticed it.
i did about about a 4 gallon water change and turned the lights off.
