Update on my Clown: After netting him his gill got caught in the net!! took me a good two or three minutes to get him out. Didnt think he was going to live after that but looks like he'll pull through. He's been in quaratine now for three days. No change in the eye. Shouldnt the swelling have gone down by now. Again i am treating with MAracyn-2. He's eating fine.

I dont think i could do that to him. my LFS recommended a FW bath, but i thought that was just for ick???
Funny you didn't mention the results of such a procedure...hmmm
The poped eye could remain for quite some time, even after all disease processes have cleared up. And, it could be a permanent deformity. This does not necessarily mean that the fish is still sick. You're on the right track with the what you are doing.
Be sure to enhance the fish's nutrition with quality and varied foods. Get Zoecon or Zoe and soak the food in this.

Ok, i hope it clears up. In the next day or so i will move him back to the show tank. He is fine except for the popped eye. i have added garlic to the diet (that being flakes, frozen brine, squid and mysis shrimp). i'll pick up some zoe next trip the LFS. thanks for the help.
