my lil 4in. clownknifes eye is like BULGING out his head and i dont know what the hell happened...he is in a 125 along with a 3in pleco and a 5in yellow bullhead, sometimes i see a lil aggression between the 2 but its nothing more than just one chasin the other away and do u think the catfish couldve just "sucked" hes dag gum eye outta socket? the eyes still in tact but just bulgin out like crazy...anything i can do to help this out?
 
Please post pics. But if it is popeye that is a bacterial infection. You can look that disesase up on the web and see if the pics resemble what it looks like he has. But you need to get a jump on it as it can progress quickly.
 
looked it up and its popeye...got some melafix and been dosing him since yesterday...some of the swollenness has gone down some sooo i hope this works
 
Heres the best pics i could get of him...believe it or not it SEEMS to be gettin slightly better...
