Pop Eye

[Squidward]

Hi All,

One of my Angels has pop eye in 1 eye.

Water stats:
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 30
Ph = 7.8

I have read that Octozin is good for teating this.
Has anyone used it successfully?
Is it filter safe?

Thanks
Squidward

Is Myxazin better than Octozin?

It's definitely Myxazin you need to get, not Octozin.

Waterlife details:

Myxazin: "MYXAZIN lowers the count of harmful bacteria in aquarium water, treating Fin Rot, Body Rot, Ulcers, Sores and other bacterial infections. MYXAZIN will also help to control Pop - Eye Disease, Cloudy Eyes and Mouth Fungus."

Octozin is mainly for internal parasties: "OCTOZIN is a treatment for internal parasites such as those which cause Sleeping Sickness, Hole - In - The - Head, Seawater Angelfish and Clownfish Disease, Malawi Bloat Disease and also early stages of Dropsy. OCTOZIN may also be used to treat Whitespot in seawater aquaria where CUPRAZIN cannot be used."

I used Myxazin to treat pop eye on a sailfin molly and it cleared up in a couple of days.

Regards, Athena

Athena,
Thanks for the info. I have just ordered a bottle online.

Good luck with your angel. I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I didn't know if it was pop eye or an injury. It cleared up on it's own with lots of water changes before the meds came in.
