Hello all! Just looked into my tank and see my fish has a huge bubble its right eye! Here are some pics.... Some places online say take the fish out to treat it... others say leave it in and make sure its eating! Thoughts please this is the first time i have had anything like this happen!!!! http://s51.photobucket.com/user/justchillinuno/media/IMAG0500_zpsd189f801.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s51.photobucket.com/user/justchillinuno/media/IMAG0497_zps55741d6c.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s51.photobucket.com/user/justchillinuno/media/IMAG0496_zps23745bcc.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 55g - RIP - Moved to 90g 36g Bow holding tank 90g Reef Tank Dreams of many more! |

How long have you had it? What tankmates does it have? Any chance it was from aggression from another fish? Does the eye look cloudy? ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

eye looks clear, had it about 6 months... have a 6 line wrasse, solar enses, African exquisite, cleaner wrasse, 1 yellow chromes, pair of black clowns, another female anthias, and male lyre tail. purple fire fish, and a spotted cardinal.... Might have gotten picked on a bit but otherwise its healthy!! ------------- 55g - RIP - Moved to 90g 36g Bow holding tank 90g Reef Tank Dreams of many more! |

I took my clown out and treated it. 5 days later the fish died. Sad... good luck |

UPDATE - Fish is ALIVE and eye looks a lot better! Bubble has reduced and only a small bubble above a seemingly normal looking eye now! Fed Garlic soaked food 3 times a week and used Probitics Marine Max which I have been doing since my Butterfly fish left us early! ------------- 55g - RIP - Moved to 90g 36g Bow holding tank 90g Reef Tank Dreams of many more! |
