mollie sick

[Angel Lady]

I got up this morning and my babie black mollies eye looks funny and it is acting funny to staying in one place. is this popeye by any chance and if it is what is the best treatment for it?

If it is popeye...
Maracyn is a good treatment I have heard but I have heard the treated food is the best. Use a wide spectrum antibiotic.

Popeye is nearly allways down to environmental/water conditions.... - what they like??

To quote another mod - 'look after the water and the fish will look after themselves'
