So the dat is a fresh import. Initially I had it quarantine to cure fungus using melaflix. I saw some improvement within 3 days or so. I decided to add primafix and that when things got out of control. An hour after dosing prima the dat darkened up. The next day developed Popeye. I quickly did a 90% waterchange and discontinued both meds. I added Epsom salt and did 80% daily waterchanges.

I did not see any improvement, it only got worse. Today I came how to find his other eye popped out. I have no idea how to go about this.

Need suggestions

Man...sorry this happened. Would post ur water parameters asap. Add some salt 1tsp per gallon. If able to move to a qt tank then do so. Add some maracyn2/kanamycin.

Holy... by the time I'm commenting your problem has likely gone away one way or another. But someone needs to make that pic into a meme.
