Eye Bulge

[crackmonkey]

The intake guard/shield fell of my external filter intake pipe and I found one of my discus fish stuck to it by its eye. Now its eye is bulging way further out than its other. Will this go down, will it be permanent or will it die?

Anything I can do?

Should go down, but it depends on how bad it is, watch to see if its still eating/active.

If it was stuck to the filter the fish could of already been ill.
Swelling can go down.

it was acting a little more docile than usual or it probably wont have got caught on the intake.

would putting the temperature to around 32 help? I heard above 30 it kills bad bacteria

Bacteria thrives in higher temps.
