How does a fish act with popeye?

My clownfish has one eye like that. This morning when I left, it was fine. I came home for lunch and he was resting on the bottom and it looked like he had popeye. He hasn't moved. He's moving his fins some, but he's not swimming. It doesn't look like anything is wrong with him except the eye, though.

I got two of them April 3. After a week the smaller one died. I watched the bigger one keeping him from eating, so I assumed that was it. Now it makes me wonder if something was wrong with both of them then and it just didn't show up in the big one.

I just tested and ammonia and nitrite are zero, nitrate is 10, ph is 8.1, SG is 1.025, calcium is a little high at 460. Those are the only test kits I have at the moment. I had a faulty kit, so I'm buying all Salifert but I'm having trouble finding some of them.


The clownfish looked completely healthy before today, so I'm hoping it's only the popeye.
