insaneinnixa Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Is this eye too far gone to be saved? I let old tank syndrome get out of control. I'm assuming the high nitrates are the primary reason for this situation. I have gotten nitrates under control and I medicated with api erythromycin. 1 week later and still no changes in the eye. Is there anything else that can be done, or do I just sit back and wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Looks like the eye has ruptured you could add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table for 5 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes and if he still eating I would do a course of maracyn2 in food the active ingredient in maracyn2 is minocycline has anti-inflammatory properties I would recommend seeing a fish vet may need surgery to remove the eye @insaneinnixa Edited December 6, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insaneinnixa Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 @Colu i am also doing salt in that tank. Unfortunately we do not have a fish vet in our area. I'll see if I can find maracyn2 because it is still eating and very active. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
