Bulging eyes

[Davo]

Yesterday I dosed my tank with Prazi. Today I noticed that one of my discus has bulging eyes. All the rest of the discus are fine and eating well.

Whenever I dose the tank with meds this same discus always seems to be affected by whatever meds I use but this is the first time I have seen it's eyes bulge. He has lost all colour also.

Has anybody ever experienced this?

Thanks,
Dave.

probably an internal bacterial infection. any broad spectrum antibiotic should fix it

Samir,

What would you recommend?

Thanks,

I just located a post on page 3 re "Popeye". It stated that the salt treatment often worked. 1 x teaspoon/40litres.

I have added the salt and will wait and see.

do a few wc's as well .if the salt does not work then buy a bottle of tetracycline from your lfs and follow the instructions. in extreme cases i usually force feed the fish antibiotic with a dropper, but i do not recommend doing that, to anybody.
