View Full Version : Fish poorly eye

usually a single swollen eye is mechanical damage. just do water changes until the
nitrates are 20 ppm or less. a little epsom salts, like 1/8 teaspoon may help with
teh swelling. Ingrid

I;ve just been away for a few days, and when I got back, I noticed that my
wife had turned off the filter!! Not sure yet how long its been off (maximum
2 days) until she gets back from work for me to ask her, but have noticed
that one of the fish has a puffed up right eye. It's like a clear swelling,
which I have tried to capture on these photo's-

I've done a 30% water change today, anyone know what this problem is and
what I can do to treat it?

Thanks
