I came home yesterday to find my Balzani's eye swollen. does anyone know if it's popeye? I just did a 50% water change today and added aquarium salt and water conditioner. Is there anything else I should do? or should I give it a few days and see what happens?

Plenty of water changes and salt at 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water. You could do a 30 min. bath using tank water in a five gallon bucket with one teaspoon of epsome salt to releave the pressure. If you don't see improvement in a few days or the infection returns treat in a hospital tank with Maracyn or API Erythromycin.
