I would recommend an AQUARIUM SALT medicated recommended solution and water changes for about three weeks. Providing you DO NOT have scaless fish because of the salt. And then, once the problem is under way, try melafix for fix it up.

I too have a fish with popeye. I am using Interpet No9 Anti-Bacterial.I am due to do the second dose today so I cannot tell you if it will work or not. You are recommended to put some aquarium salt in as well but I have a catfish so I couldn't. If you try that treatment good luck and hope your fish will be OK. My other fishes are ok as well so I think the fish knocked his eye on something and that's what started it off.
