Hey, I've recently purchased a royal gramma (got in on 19th of April) and it's my first time owning one. I'm just a little concerned its eyes are larger than they should be and could possible be Popeye. Could anyone will some experience with royal grammas or Popeyes help me figure out if I'm just being paranoid or if it's a serious problem? Every other fish in the tank havent shown signs of having inflated eyes.
Thanks in advance.

This is classic popeye and can be air bubbles or light injury
Keep an eye on it for now to see if it gets better

Thank you so much, if the condition doesn't improve, what medicines would you recommend?
