Sounds like pop-eye. What are your water params?

As for treatment, try Tetracycline. I have used that with great results on my Bettas for pop-eye. If she just developed this big eye, you should start treating ASAP for better chances of getting rid of it.

Hope your fish gets well soon!

Hi, one of my male Mollies had popeye. I think he bumped into something while chasing a female. I used Interpet No. 9 (comes with full instructions and is very simple to use)and it worked well. It is available in most lfs's.That was a while ago now and he is still swimming around happily! Hope your fish is ok too.
