Popeye and quarantine questions?

[patrick]

I've been searching for topics about popeye and proper procedures for quarantining new fish. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Patrick

I am not sure what you need to know about popeye, but a search under those keywords ("popeye" and "quarentene") on one of more of the discus forums should provide what you need.

Popeye is sometimes due to poor water quality, and goes away after a few days of improved conditions. I have purchased wild fish with popeye and have "fixed" them successfully. Popeye may also be caused by a bacterial infection inside (actually behind) the eye, and antibiotics would probably be needed to treat that.
HTH. Good luck, Francisco.
