Pop Eye

[mezrie]

Hello all, i am writing about my golden panchax. Last weekend she showed signs of pop eye, this weekend no sign of improvement, it has grown some what and looks like a large bubble of water covering the eye. It is only the one eye affected. She still has a healthy appetite at the moment. If anyone can recommend something i can do that mgith help her i'd be forever grateful. She's over a year old in a 96l community tank. All tests on water indicate no problems there. No other fish affected.

Thank you,

Mez x

a 7 day course of melafix will cure popeye, however there is alays an underlying cause.
you say your water is fine but what did you test for and what were the results exactly?

ideally we need to know
ammonia
NO2
NO3
pH
temperature including any extreme changes in the last week or so
any recent additions to the tank (fish plants decor etc)
