Water changes will help. Generally when this has happen to one of my fish I start doing like10-20 % water changes maybe 2-3 days in row and step up my skimming more aggressively. I th ink cleaner water will help it heal
Hard for me to tell. Eye does look cloudy and little popped out. My suggestions are based on my experience. I have found that when I let my tank go this happens to my fish. In past when I have turned off my skimmer for few days my tang gets pop eye. After turning skimmer on and few water changes it always gets better
Yes so most likely due to water quality of some sort. Or stress from the water
Epsom salt helps with the swelling. Gives the fish a better chance than just leaving it. I used epsom salt once for this. The fish was better in about a weeks time. The Epsom salt needs to not have any additives. Maybe someone else will chime in on the correct type. Or I can check when I get home. Good luck.
Agree with both Epsom salt bath and good water quality. Also if you have microbubbles in tank, it can contribute to popeye as it reaches the weakest part of the body- Eye sockets
Hi, @MichaelReefer
Everyone was spot on with epsom salt. One other thing to watch out for may be flukes. A fresh water dip in a dark bucket if he does not get better may be needed.
Hope things turn out well. Keep us updated
