Current Quarantine Protocol

If the OP has a microscope, then FW dip as a diagnostic tool might be warranted - only Neobenedenia is large enough to see in dip water without a scope.

There is also an empirical test - if the fish improves the day after FW dip, then the issue is a gill parasite, either flukes or velvet.

But, a FW dip on a weak fish may cause its demise.

He's just beeing pacing and glass surfing non stop crashing into the glass for 15mins+ even though i closed the lights. I assume the popeye has lowered his vision or made him blind. Dont know if this is last moment panic before he leaves us...

Foxface just came out here's a video, he still doesn't want to eat and hes glass surfing. You can see the popeye clearly. @winxp_man I am assuming hes a goner hes been pacing back and forth non stop in total panic

Single eye issues are usually damage. F both eyes where an issues that is another story.

The eyes with good water quality will heal on its own most of the time. Kanaplex is an entry level med for bacterial issues from eye damage, and the one that works at bacterial issues from damage would be erythromycin. Fritz Maracyn has erythromycin and what most people use.

All of this is for the eye. The bigger issue at hand is the gill issues and the fish breathing harder, not eating, and now see you said scratching/ flashing of sorts?

Not quite scratching, it almost feels like hes completely lost sight and is just bumping into the glass back and forth. We have almost no meds where I am and given the current situation of shipping everything takes weeks to get here. I think the only course of action I have is wait. He's finally calmed down and gone to sleep. But popeye is both eyes so I suspect ammonia. Both the fish that died couldnt have been dead more than 6 to 8 hours in the tank dont know how much impact that will have.
