Practically perfect in every way
one of our nannacara anomala has had pop eye for about a week now, we've been treating with Myaxin, course is now nearly done but no improvement.
tank is 60 gals, we had a nightmare a few months ago when the heater plug got knocked, temp dropped and we lost about half the stock, not re stocked it yet as we haven't the time or the money so it's currently home to
4 melatonia praecox (all male)
4 nannacara anomala (1 m 3 f, it's one of the f that's poorly)
2 bristlenose plecs (1m 1f)
about 10 amano shrimp
so clearly understocked, got a fluval and a tetratec on there, can't remember the exact models but it's plenty enough filtration
water is
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
nitrate around 10ppm
pH - 7.4
I think what triggered it is a very short mini cycle, the plants were very overgrown, we pruned them significantly, tested the water the same day and there was no ammonia or nitrite but i imagine there may have been a short blip, that day we spotted the pop eye, did a large water change that day, picked up some myaxin the next day as our meds were out of date, been treating and testing the water for a week, all other fish look completely healthy.
pop eye (as we have affectionately called her) just has one big bulgy eye, her colouring is very dark and she's hovering around the bottom of the tank much like you would get with a bacterial infection.
myaxin is supposed to treat pop eye and bacterial infections so it should be sorting either but we've seen no improvement at all. starting to think about putting her out of her misery, just wondering if anyone has any miraculous pop eye cure suggestions?
