Jardini with eye issue needing advice

[Cabinetman 1]

Hi I have an 8" Jardini. I have had him for about a month and a half. Recently after feeding I noticed this protrusion above his right eye. It went away a few hours later and then came back. I feed him night crawlers. He is active and acts normal. Thanks for the advice . I have attached a few pictures.

Either injury or tumor most likely.

Thank you for the input, I will keep an eye on it...... lol. Sorry fish humor

Due to the circular way that they adopt in the tanks, the eye pointing the outside of the tank will be pointing down with the time. There is an operation to remove the tissue that push the eye down.

Jars very rarely ever get drop eye. I would say it's likely an injury or slight pop eye.

I noticed it first when he ate a large earthworm. It almost looked like he dislocated it. It gets better from time to time. But it hasn't gotten any worse.

Its drop eye can only remove with surgery he should be fine though as longs it doesnt get worse

If it were drop eye which it's not it would not get better. Treat for pop eye.

All those saying drop eye, find me an image of a jar with drop eye, not any images and I've read of one claimed case. Jars don't get drop eye hardly ever if at all.
Only Asian and sa aros get it. Nearly all silvers 99.9% get it. A percentage of Asians and 2% of blacks.

What would you recommend for treatment? Thank you.
