Hello everyone, haven't used the forum in a long time but I need some help. I've left my aquarium to my dad to manage for about 2 months now and I've checked in every now and again to see how its going. Today when I checked, one my my Harlequin Rasboras's looks like it's suffering from popeye and it's also missing a tailfin. It's staying with the group but struggling to swim. Any ideas on how to help it get back to health?

What are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate pH KH just case something off looking at the picture I would quarantine and treat with kanaplex and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons the salt will help reduce fluid buildup in the eye could a fin rot or an injury to the tail it could  be bacterial that's why I recommended kanaplex it's a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment @anitstuk
