I had an angelfish develop pop-eye. I have some sharp rocks in the tank and sometimes they show some mild abrasions. This is probably how it started.
I usually do a 75%+ waterchange weekly or every other week.
Anyhow this was last Sat that I noticed it and I knew would not be able to do anything until monday. Did a lot of research and many suggest treating with meds, but some on here suggest clean water.
By Monday morning he had super pop-eye. did usual 75% wc and cleaned all the filters. By thursday he looked like a regualr pop-eye.
So, I did another 75% waterchange.
By Saturday, 1 week after I noticed it, he is back to normal. Not even sure which of the five angels was the one afflicted.
Goes to show jumping for the medicine cabinet should be the second defense and clean water the first.
