clownfish eye

[mudskipper1]

I noticed tonight that my male clown has one eye that is somewhat swollen. I believe it is pop eye as I dont know of any other disease with that syptom. I found a website that said to treat with penecillin or Amoxicillin. Is this the best treatment, If yes where can I get it...If no, what is the best treatment.

Thanks in advance

I had a similar thread recently about that and if its just one eye its most likely an injury from live rock or bumping into coral. Mine fish's eye got so swollen that it was literlly about to pop. Was told to leave it alone and try not to make sudden movements around the aquarium. Anyhow, after about a week and a half, the swolleness is finally coming down. Thank goodness!

alright, thanks for the reassurance, it is just the one eye on the one fish and I havent introduced a new fish in about 6-8 months or so, new corals a few weeks ago, but no signs of disease at all in the system I got them from...hopefully it will go away soon.

Just making sure, his eye is pretty cloudy and opaque, does that mean it is a disease rather than just irritation.
