Sick Silver Mollie

[craftybungle]

My female Silver Mollie who I purchased about 6 weeks ago was fine until about 5 days ago, he started hiding away from other fish and has been lethargic and not moving around my 50 gal tank as normal, I have noticed this morning his eyes are right out like on stalks and he has a small clear bubble on one side, I have a feeling it may be popeye, he also has 2 small white spots on his fin, which I hope is not the start of Ich, can someone please advise, all ammonia/nitrate levels are good and my tank is understocked with only a couple of fish at the moment, I do regular water changes on a weekly/2 weekly basis, the tank has been up ad running now for around 4 months and this is the first medical problem I have had. Thanks in advance everyone

Firstly I would isolate her immediatly, as it sounds like she has popeye. Is there any way you could get a photo up? Popeye Picture Take a look at that to try and make a comparison.

If indeed it is popeye you can treat with Tetracycline, and if she has ich you can use Coppersafe at the same time. Both of the following products are made by Mardel.
