pop eye on my clown fish

[mad268]

i added 2 small fish to my tank .
i noticed my clown fish that has been in the tank for about 7-8 months has pop eye.
my question is how can i cure him and is this due to too many fish in tank ?

Are both eyes poped or just one? Did you notice this before adding the other fish? What about the other fish? How are they doing?
Do you have a QT? You may need to treat with antibiotics.
Post all your water readings.

To many fish in one tank could lead to water quality problems, which could lead to the problem that you have now. It is curable but as Beth stated we could use more information in order to make the right choices for you.

Mad, you need to post more info. Water readings.
You may need to set up a QT so you can treat with antibiotics.
At this point, I would feed the fish fresh seafoods soaked in garlic. There is a receipe in the FAQ Thread. If that does not work, then you will need to set up a hospital tank to treat with antibiotics.
