Shamrock Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'm fairly new to all this and have a fully cycled 20gal high w plants and driftwood. Just need some guidance please. Last week during a water change, I notice 1 of my 6 panda cories had something wrong with its eyes. I believe that it is popeye but want to make sure. I unfortunately don't have a hospital tank, hopefully will be able to get one tomorrow. I did attempt treating with Seachem Paraguard since I had it on hand but I don't think it has done anything. I just ordered some maracyn and aquarium salt. Wondering if I need kanaplex as well??? Water tested and all parameters are normal and all fish are acting normal and eating well.

Colu Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) It looks more like an eye injury to me what I would do is increase water changes add a small amount of salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons that will help relieve the any possible fluid buildup in the eye at that level it shouldn't harm your plants and you could do a course of maracyn2 in food the active ingredient is minocycline has anti-inflammatory properties and will cover against any secondary bacteria infection Edited July 31, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) It's possible one eye looks more like an injury to me I would do the course of maracyn2 and salt for a week and see how it goes Edited July 31, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
