It is just one eye. It has been there for a couple days now!

Thank you so much!! Just purchased both. What do you mean by 3 tbsp per 5g? Per 5g of what?

5g of water. Popeye is relentless. My flagfish had it for at least 2 months. He survived.

Ah okay! This fish lives with my turtle, and so to avoid him getting eaten I put him in a temporary smaller container to let the fish rest and heal in peace. I ordered the supplies and they're coming tomorrow so hopefully it helps! The fish seems really weak and is only getting worse. He barely swims and is a little wonky.

That’s popeye. Tough disease, and painful for the fish.
