Anthias with clear bubble over eye

[Bigrock]

i have read a few threads on this but just want some confirmation on what I’m dealing with and how to treat. I do not think it is pop eye But rather the gas bubble disease. This fish has been in qt for 45 days and gone through prazi and coppersafe. It developed the bubble about 2 weeks ago and the following has been tried with little success or shrinking of the bubble. 2 doses of Epson salt, 4 doses of kanaplex and metro in the food with focus. Anybody know how I can correct this for the big guy?

Thanks for the article. I have read it before but could not find it. So sounds as if it could correct it self or it could not. Has anyone used a syringe to try and deflate the gas bubble?

I would not use a needle, bump.

The article specifically says not to do that.

I just noticed my Barbonius has a bubble on its eye tonight. What was the outcome and did you find a way to treat?
