How to Treat Popeye?

[gveng]

My pajama cardinal fish has popeye on only one eye.

The fish was eating fine so I thought it would heal itself, but it's only getting worse. It's to the point where he's missing food right in front of him.

I have a separate tank that I can put him in just wondering what I should use to treat him.

Thanks!

Epsom salt

+1 to epsom salt.

My true percula clown in QT got a mild case of popeye on his left eye. I think he might have bumped it or something and the water quality had gone down the tubes because I had been sick and didn't do the water changes I needed to.

Anyway, I did a 100% water change and added epsom salts. He recovered and didn't lose any vision (caught it early enough).

If yours is having vision issues, then from what I have read it may not recover vision, but otherwise it would be ok.

Anyway, it's been a few days, how does the fish look?
