title says it all, i came in this morning and one of my adult breeders looks dark, and breathing heavy, but his eyes are what scare me, they are protruding quite a bit ...
everyone else in the tank looks fine, and water is testing good

that being said when i turned the light on the male/female this one has paired up with looked a little different today too (maybe lighter color?) so i was hoping maybe it was a breeding thing

any suggestions? im gonna call my friend at the lfs and see what he reccomends
thanks
 
he/she is swimming and bumping into things and hitting the bottom ... :(
and its mate is being very protective/aggressive to others as it follows around the tank ?!?!
 
So just started my new 55 gallon tank. Not a first timer but never had problems with eyepoping. As of now one of my fish has it. Others are fine. Do u have to take the one fish out to treat it??? And both eyes are affected does this mean its gunna lose both eyes??? Help quick. My poor fishy:l
 
Try octozin
