Hello all!

My 15 YO ryukin has lately had some darker orange spots on him/her.
It was so slight - but it worried me. NOW his/her eyes look HUGE -
poping out. Mostly the clear part of the eye (not really from behind
the eye)

I have aquarium salt, epsom salt, maricyn2 and have raised the temp to
90 degrees.

How much of each salt do i need to remove some water from the fishe's
body (and eyes). What is the proper temp to kill off the bacteria?

FYI I have a 60 gallon aquarium in it, two fish, eclipse units (two of
them) and the water is in perfect quality.

Thanks in advance
