He was fully QTed. He was in the main tank for 6 months I watched him ram his eye into the rock, so I am pretty sure that caused it.I do not think there is a magic cure - except what you're doing. I would avoid handling the fish - to avoid further eye damage. Did you QT the fish? If so - with what? Is there any other information/history you can give
I was thinking - it was injury as compared to a 'disease'. I would complete a 10 day course of the antibiotics and re-release into the display tank. There are a number of possible things that could happen - from losing the eye - to gradual healing)He was fully QTed.

While this can and may have stemmed from injury, it is often confused with gas bubble issue but rather injury trauma in which this fish is a prime candidate often startled and diving into rock crevices. It is unknown why this happens after head trauma but the fish ends up with bubbles inside the eye . Agree as MnFish, indicated, there is no specific treatment for this issue other than waiting it out to see if air bubble gets reabsorbed OR if the situation gets worse resulting in loss of eye. I have a Bangaii cardinal with similar situation which ended up losing the eye and behaves and eats normal.
