injured fish

[TWINPEAKS]

This morning I noticed that one of my anthis has what appears to be a bubble on it's eye.The eye is not popped out just looks like a air bubble attached to its eye,the fish is eating normal and acts as if nothing is wrong.What is this and will it go away on its own?

Probably irritated it on something such as the rock work. If the fish is acting normally. The only thing you can do is wait it out like popeye. I had a clarkii clown that would get it every now and then. After a few weeks it would go away or be less severe looking. Make sure your water parameters are good to help the fish stay healthy.

I'll second what Ramtheory said. It just happend to my Royal Gramma and it went way within 4-6 days. My fish was acting 100% normal otherwise as well. Watch his behavior though, if it turns for the worse popeye can be a symptom of much worse things. As popeye is a symptom or injury and not a disease of it own.
