I just added 2 blue rams to my aqaurium about a week ago. When I looked in the travel bag to examine my fish on the way home, one of the fish's eyes were kind of...larger than the other one. The other ram was fine though. Now that I have gotten to actually see them as they have gotten comfortable with the tank, I am worried about his eye.

If you can see his right eye...his actual eye isn't popping out but he had a red ring around his eye (normal coloration of both rams' eyes) but that skin is kind of popping out. Not the actual eye itself, but the skin around it. Like a puffy ring around his eye.

It is really hard to explain. :/

My water is fine ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10. What could be wrong?
 
Just keep water quality in tip top condition.
 
Always do. :nod: I always tend to freak out at the slightest things, but I suppose that is a good thing. Like when I bought some neon tetras and just added them to my tank, they weren't very bright and I thought they had NTD so I started doing 25% water changes everyday. :hyper: I hope my blue ram is okay. :nod: I would do a water change today, but I ran out of stress coat. :angry:
 
Just keep an eye on his eye, lol.

Lol. :rofl: Hehe. Yea, I just checked him today and his eye doesn't seem to look that unusual. He just has a little red ring around his eye. His other one has it too, because that is their coloration normally but one is kind of larger than the other. :dunno:
 
My fancy goldfish has two diferent eyes, so I woundn't worry to much unless it start to bulge out or go cloudy.

It sounds weird but it seems to have gone down. His colors are getting a lot brighter as well. Maybe it was just a stress thing? :dunno:
