Pop-eye treatment???

[TroyMIfishkeeper]

Two of my fish have pop eye, my alligator gar and my delhezi bichir. Each only have it in one eye, I suspect it's because of ammonia but I still need to test the water. Anyways, my plan was to do a 50% water change and move the two to quarantine tanks and try treating them with Epsom salts to draw the fluid out, then testing the water in the normal tank and once I know what's wrong with the water I can treat it. Is this a good plan? Any other advice or tips?
Thanks in advance, I've never had this happen before and I'm very concerned.

any improvement now that the ammonia is corrected? With two fish affected I do worry about infection

The gar has already recovered, although the bichir hasn't shown much improvement. I plan to move him to a quarantine tank tomorrow and try the Epsom salt treatment.

Update: Both fish have fully recovered! Didn't even have to quarantine the bichir.

how did you recover them? What did you do? Please please write back! My baby alligator gar has it in one eye and I don’t know why, his body is also curved like bent.
