I didnt see it in the sticky but I seem to remember something about bulging eyes on polys. My 3 senegals look kinda funny, their eyes look much more pronounced and goggle-ish than my albino. (who is in a separate tank) Its no so bad that Im positive something is wrong its just a little weird. So is it actually a health issue and if so how do I treat it? My camera is kaput but I'll see if any of my old pics show it all.
Pop-eye?

I had a ornate poly that had pop-eye, as well as my frontosa, I used minocycline (maracyn-two) until it cleared. About 2 weeks I believe. But make sure you put it in a hospital tank to treat.
Oh, and read the full instructions, and make sure the disease is fully cleared before you put it back otherwise you'll go through it all over again. I'd leave him separate for near a month to be totally sure.
Well, all 3 in the tank are showing it. So I guess that is the hospital tank. Pics here, http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3171395#post3171395
You can dose your whole tank but, after you run the meds I would do a water change. It's not harmful to your filtration. I used API and I know Meredel makes it as well, you can check petco and petsmart usually they carry, if not head to the aquaria store. Good luck with it. oh and like I said before make sure you run the full dose, I can't stress that enough.
