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&quot 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.
