Hi I bought a Blue ram on sunday at petland and that girl could finally get the little guy after ONE HOUR so now my little guy has a popeye my water parameters are
Temp 78
PH 7.4
Ammo O
Nitrite O
Nitrare 10
I read that this can occure by stress so is this possible that this little fish has Popeye due to the stressful
chatch

Your water stats are good so don't blame yourself.
Catching a fish for an hour would of stressed the poor thing to death.

I would add some melafix for now she could of caught the eye with a net.

Thanks i will do that it is possible that she hurt the little fish I mean it took so long for here to chatch him that even I was getting stressed

Thanks for the help and i will keep a verry close eye on him and keep you updated if i see some changing

it makes me so angry when i see this because they aren't bothered about the fishes health or anything. i politely point out that if they used two nets any moved very very slowly they would catch them in no time at all, the fish almost swim into the nets
