It looks bacterial to me. Symptoms: Pop Eye / Bloated belly.
Research " Septicemia" and see if that might apply in your case. I've read that Mardel's (Maracyn) is a common med
For that particular bug. Hope things get better soon.
 
Have you been feeding pellets? They can't digest pellets very well, especially when younger

I set up a quarantine tank for now because maracyn kills biofilter and I'm not dealing with that.. I had a established filter so he is in a 20 gal now by himself covered with a towel .. I guess I'll try my best to save him but as ivan drago said " if he dies, he dies"
