POPEYE????

[rob 10737]

Think I have my first case of popeye? My blue angels one eye looks bigger(pufferer) than the other and is alittle cloudy. Would this be popeye? He is acting normal, eating good. But he is scratching on the rocks alittle and just lowered my salintity to try to combat this. Any suggestions??

Do you have a QT to move this fish to? If so, you should do that so that you can medicate it with antibotics. What type of setup do you have?

I have 75 gal. with overflow,bio balls and I think about a 15 gal sump. It's a fish only and the Blue Angel is the only one in the tank. Gonna be adding more fish in the future but want to take care of this problem first. Started treatment on Sunday (20th) with Maracyn-Two and gonna continue it for the 5 days as prescribed. Any other suggestions? Thanks,
Rob
