clownfish with popeye

[SpyderVenom000]

I noticed my clownfish's eye was bulging out last thursday night, so I got on here and looked up the most common cause (bacterial infection). So on friday i got some Kanaplex and Focus and dosed it in the QT tank. The eye looks a little better, but will it go back to normal?

Usually if one eye is swollen, it's due to injury. If both eyes are swollen or the one is cloudy, then bacterial. I prefer starting with Epsom salt. 1tsp to 5 gallons. The eye should be normal again, but there is always the chance it won't be. If any antibiotic should is used, Furan-2 works well.

i believe the eye was cloudy, but ill check again once i get home from work. If its not then i will try the epsom salt. Thanks

The eye isnt cloudy so im gonna try the epsom salt.

i put 2 tsp of the epsom salt in the QT (10 GAL) last night. How many doses are usually required before i see the swelling reduced?

Wait 2 days, if no improvement re-dose.
