Need help with an eye problem

[nd9979]

One of my mollys has an eye problem. It seems like his left eye is raised up and its kind of a pinkish/red color around the eye socket.

Is it because of fighting? It seems like him and another molly fight sometimes because they are the biggest fish, and seems like they each trying to be the dominent one in the tank.

I think I read somewhere that a fungus medication will help. I have a basic fungus medication, so should I add it? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

It sound like an injury. The eyes can repair a lot easier than ours, treat with an antifungus treatment, this will help. Try to keep them apart, more fighting will cause more harm, and stress to the fish.
