Hi
My Angelfish has recently been suffering with Pop Eye, that I can't seem to get rid of. I had been treating the tank with Myxazin but it hasn't done anything. After the Myxazin didn't seem to be helping, I have tried Melafix, which for a time seemed to make things look slightly better, but still nothing major.
My Angel now looks like the pictures below, and I am concerned that it may be either blind, or going blind.
Sorry the photo's aren't fantastic, but its the best I could get. I have tested the levels and everything is fine Ammo: 0, Nitrate: 0, Nitrate: 0 (I did think it was weird that my Nitrate was a 0 where as it is normally at 5, but was told this is due to me having a heavily planted tank). The tank went through a mini cycle not long ago, which is what caused the pop eye - whilst the tank was high in ammonia and nitrite until it sorted itself out again.
I also had a Bolivian Ram suffering with huuuge bulging eyes, but it affected it that much it has sadly now passed away. I really don't want this to happen to my Angel.
The fish is still eating fine, though it is finding it difficult to see the food and instead of going down to the sand to grab bits, it relies on it floating on the surface. I don't know if this is because it is going blind, or if its because of this patch at the front of its eye. When you look at the fish front on, you can only see the right eye's pupil.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
