    100F

    I have successfully treated my flowerhorn with pop eyes in two separate incidents with the same fish about two months apart. During treatment, I was so scared his eye would pop like your discus. His eye was the size of a marble with tissue hanging outside. Treated it and then about two months later his other eye got infected but this time it wasnt so bad like the first time.Treated again and now both eyes clear up and you could even tell he had bad eye infection.

    If you are interested, pm me. You got nothing to lose Lol.
    Hi, my name is Saltz.

    How long to dose? His eye is terrible. Though, his behavior is that of a perfectly healthy fish. Silly as it sounds, I don't want him to go through any pain. Is that ignorant or am I for saying that?

    The key is to get the swelling down before it explodes. I would add salt to the tank. Hope it is not too late. Good luck.

    10 gallon hospital tank is too small imo, 20g should be the minimum. I still recommend adding kanamycin to the mix, not a fan of salt.

    I was just reading another one of your posts.If you still have all those fish together still in one tank,I would up the WC's to at least 50% daily.There's a lot going on in a tank that crowded.Appeares to me that this injury happened over a period of time.Your other discus appear dark and the PB's are very peppered.Your other fish "appear" healthy.Hope this helps some.
