hi,
i have two tin foils and one of them has really bad pop eye, does anyone knoe if there is any way to cure this??

 

[shang hi]

yes there are ways (and i know thats for sure), a antibacterial med might cure it. (im not 100% though so try in tropicall fish emergiencys for a acurate answer, don't go with my answer usless other people say its not wrong).
but pop eye is curable. sorry i wasn't much help

MelaFix by API
All-natural botanical remedy safe for plants, invertebrates, and all fish. Repairs damaged fins, open wounds, and tail rot, as well as pop-eye, mouth fungus, and many other bacterial infections. For fresh and saltwater.
(from pinned topic about common medications)

so pop eye is bacterial and melafix should be aquirable from your LFS. but i'de listen to wilder he/she (not meaning to be rude wilder, sorry if it was abit) is amazing when it comes to fish health.
