Pop Eye

[Mariah]

Hi,
How can I tell if my betta has pop eye or if his eyes are just naturally big?
Thanks

Does it look like any of these in this link?

His eyes are pretty big. I just cant tell if its pop eye though still.
Here is a picture of him. Can you tell?

From that picture I don't think it is popeye, but I'd definately keep an eye on it. When mine had popeye, his eyes were really bulging and cloudy and had a white spot in them.

Ok well his eyes are not cloudy but they do stick out WAY more than all of my other bettas. I named him Bug because of his eyes... Not knowing that it might be a disease....
Could this be natural than?
Thanks

Good link Wilder

If you guys look at the very first picture of Wilders link his eye looks like the smaller of the two eyes (the one on the left) Im confused still...

I've had a betta that everyone thought had pop-eye before, but his eyes were just naturally very buggy
From the pic you posted he looks fine to me, but I'd suggest keeping a close eye on him (no pun intended) and having medication on hand just incase you notice his eyes getting any bigger

Ok Synrr, I will do that than. How long should he be in quartine than?

I'd say around two weeks, just to be safe
