Fish Crazy
I have an Angel that had pop eye, this may have been self inflicted as I done a 70% water change and I later discovered that pop eye can be caused by a new setup or massive water change as this can cause has very high nitrogen levels.
The advice I read if this is the case is leave it for a few days as it might go away.
Anyway, it did not so I put him in my new Quarantine tank with 40 Litres of water and I have been treating him with 5ml of Melafix for the last 5 days.
The Pop eye has gone, but his eye looks bloodshot and I have discovered today what looks like very fine white hairs protruding from his eye about 5mm. Is this a fungus or did his eye explode?
I'm not sure what to do from here, should I continue the treatment in the Quarantine tank or put him back in the main tank?
My concern with leaving him in the quarantine tank is it only has natural light and no filtration, so leaving him in thier for to long could build up ammonia levels etc, although I'm not sure how long it would take for this to happen in 40 litres?
Thanks
