If the eye is bulging out its popeye build up of fluids, closely related to dropsy.
The pop eye link not working so will find you another one.

thats an interesting article. i dont think the water at work would cause it because the water there is A OK. what else could cause it? the TB thing is a concern. last week after doing some gravel cleaning i had a big rash on my arm. i didnt think to much about it because i also had my arm in the marine tank and my skin doesnt like salt much sometimes. it lasted a few days and then left after i used an antibacterial shampoo stuff on it. hmmm....

anyhoo, fortunately the tank is isolated but that means i cant take anyone else out to save infection so ill continue treating the tank with what was mentioned int he article if i can find that here. otherwise, should a treat with an antibacterial med?
