I need to treat my betta for Popeye, I’m doing water changes every few days and need to treat him but I don’t have a hospital tank and online it says not to use the medication in a tank with shrimp. If I take him out and use the treatment in a separate container will it still work? This is what...
Yesterday I noticed that my cory’s eye looked bigger than the rest of my catfish. Is this popeye? If so, how could I treat it?
I’ve been doing ~20% water changes every 1 to 1.5 weeks for my 36 gallon bowfront tank. Nitrites are at 0. Ammonia <0.25ppm. Nitrates <5.0ppm.
I don't have a CLUE what is wrong with my fish. I posted before thinking he had popeye. Now... I am not sure it's popeye, but it's... weird. I have been told that it was diamond eye... He DOES have it in the left eye. The right one isn't that. It didn't show up well in the few photos I had on my...
Hi all, I am trying to figure out what's wrong with my poor fish and I'm having no luck. Backstory: teenage nephew bought a male betta fish, Poppy, about 8 months ago from a pet shop. Nephew took really poor care of his pet, including alternating overfeeding/forgetting to feed, not cycling the...
She got white rings around both her eyes a few weeks ago so I used melafix for a week. It didn’t seem to change much. They seem to be more prominent now but I honestly can’t tell if it’s her coloring or not.
She also has a weight issue, I don’t think it’s a disease since she’s very active and...
Hello! I’m pretty sure she just scratched her eye on one of the decorations in the tank but I just wanna make sure. It’s her right eye.
her tummy is bloated but I’m pretty sure that’s because on of my female guppies that she shares the tank with had babies and my beta had a hay day eating them...
Hi, i started off with about 80 molly fry from several mothers. They’re between 4 and 6 months old now. There’s only about 30 at this point and that number was pretty constant for a while but as soon as they hit about an inch long they start spiraling and some of them get popeye. I have no clue...
Hello, I’m new to this forum. I have a elephant ear betta that I can’t figure out what is wrong with his eyes. At first I thought it was pop eye but now I’m wondering if it’s diamond eye. I’ve looked at pictures of both conditions and neither look to me like his condition. I’ve been treating him...
A couple days ago I noticed that one of my Oscar’s eyes seemed a bit bigger than usual. I looked it up and read that it might be popeye. I freaked out and tested the water, everything was perfect except the nitrate level. I did a 50% percent water change, and added my usual water primer...
Hi!
I’m in desperate need of help. My goldfish is a telescope fancy. He seemed fine last night. He now has dark/blood filling his eye, not just the pupil but the entire telescope bubble. What happened? Can I treat this? He’s always swimming funny, settling upsetting down and breathing fast...
Hello, I am posting because I’m concerned my platy may have pop eye but I’m not entirely sure. I’ll post pictures at the end. He’s perfectly healthy otherwise so I’m having a hard time telling if he might have pop eye or if I’m just worrying about him too much. He’s my favourite fish and I’m...
Hey guys,
I have a 29 gallon tank with 5 peppered Cory's, 4 False Julii Cory's, 8 Neons and one betta. Today I noticed that one of the Julii cory has just one eye that is protruding out and seems lethargic. The other one is fine. There is no redness around the bad eye. Anybody have any idea or...
Hi guys!
I recently rescued a black Moore goldfish a friend of mine was keeping in a fish bowl. They had him for about a year before asking if I’d take him. By the time I got him he had a pretty nasty case of popeye and some pretty obvious signs of ich.
I now have him alone in a 30 gallon...
Today I saw that my Dalmatian Molly had an overly bloated eyeball. I did some research to learn it was Popeye. I went to pet smart for help, they said to put him in an Epsom salt bath and to treat him with a medicine I cannot remember. Only one eye is affected, and he is the only fish to be...
Please help us figure out what is wrong with our sick betta fish, Indigo! We have had him for 10 months and recently he has been acting very strange. He lays at the bottom of his 2.5 gallons filtered and heated tank and doesn’t move. We thought he was dead but his gills are moving, and when you...

I need help! My betta has popeye!
Yesterday she was fine but this morning I came downstairs to find a bubble over her right eye and just formed some white stuff underneath it. I immediately changed her water.
I bought maracyn 2 a couple of hours ago and I read that I need to combine it with the...
I came home 1 night and my fish had 3 white spots so I took the carbon out of the filter. Cleaned it all in hot water. Added pimafix and melafix. Turned the heat up and added some salt. Then it got worse the next day and I cleaned the tank out more and removed the plants. Then this morning I...
I rescued a betta from a home where the water was dirty and he was getting popeye. With medication and clean water, the "popping out" swelling is vastly improved, but there is a white substance still sort of sticking out from around the affected eye. His tank is a 6 gal filtered (with the...
