He also had popeye.

This is just a curiosity question. Are you sure you got 3 delhezi?
When I see 'popeye' and 5cm fish that took down a pretty good sized danio, I get this image of a baby captive born endli with a little froggy eye mistakenly sold as a delhezi. I could be wrong dels are more than capable of catching and eating other fish but it almost sounds like a little endli's behavor and they are often sold incorrectly. Possibly post pictures?

Good thought and suggestion.

Interesting... I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. He only has popeye in the one eye though.

His belly has shrunk to normal size thankfully.

Sorry, didn't get email notification so I only happened to see this today. I've been so overwhelmed with work I've forgotten about the pics. I'll try today.

At first it seemed as if the popeye was improving but now that eye is completely white. Appetite is healthy. I added salt at 1 tsp. per gallon to his tank. Temp is 81F. Should I raise it?

And if I don't see results with a few days, Seachem Neoplex or something stronger?

Definitely a delhezi. Call him one eyed jack!
