help with pop-eye ???

[PietschBR]

Hello!

I have 3 lyretail anthias on QT, 2 female 1 male, and the smallest female ended up with a single cloudy eye, since the beginning...
So after doing some research i thought that it could be a minor trauma from shipping...
Its been like this for over a week now, but the fish is eating a lot and apparently seeing with no problem.

The problem is that i think its getting worst, the eye keeps getting cloudier, and today the other female has the same problem, a single cloudy eye.
But again, yesterday i moved the rocks on the water change, could be another small trauma...

i was thinking about treating with antibiotics, since they are in QT anyway...

What do you think? What medicine should be better for this kind of infection? Is it infection??

So yesterday I started the treatment with sulfamethoxazole + trimetropin.. did a 20 minutes bath.
It caused a lot of stress from what I saw, so today I mixed the antibiotic with food and they all ate it, I'll continue that way and see where it leads.

Epsom salt at 1 tbsp per 5g of water treats popeye caused by trauma. It calls for 1-3 teaspoons per 5g but I have found 1 tbsp per 5g usually works

Cloudy eye not necessarily the same as pop eye. I generally just let the latter clear up on its own, which it usually does. If you are going to treat than do as Dmorty prescribes. Cloudy eye can be bacterial, particularly if both eyes are cloudy.

I think it's getting better with the antibiotic treatment mixed with food. It's slowly clearing the eye from what i can see.

From your experience how long does it take to heal on its on when caused by trauma?
