I used to add 4 drops thrice a day and make 40% water changes daily .
Used to keep the water couple of degrees warmer than room temperature. ...

Thank you my Freind's aquerano but he passed away yesterday it turns out he had dropsy and not popeye. Thank you for your input...

Right now im really sad cuz I loved him and now he is gone. I thought about replacing him but I need some time to get over this sad loss.

I am gutted to be honest. My tank is pretty clean and I have three internal filter and one huge external filter for my 500 litter tank and I clean it once or twice a month... But as for the external filter I haven't clean it for a long time. Do you think that is why he got sick. The external filter is a tetra 600 litter filter

You should probibly clean the tank more often. Alturnating filter cleanings. Test your water and let the numbers dictate your cleanning schedule.
