Gi'day
I have a discus with one eye poping from it eye socket, It went off is food saturday and started hiding yesterday. The eye is getting larger and the other is starting to do the same.It still can see but it does appear to be blind in the first eye.
Can any body help?
I've had these Three discus for about 18 months and to other 2 appear fine for now
Thanks regards Steve

It is due to bacteria infection and the socket and nerves are affected and even inflamed.

Make frequent water change ...100 percent daily.

The other method is th make water-change and add antibiotics and salt for 20 days or till it subside.

Feed once a day but usually it won't eat.

Think I'll go buy some more, to cheer myself up. :(
