Please suggest me some treatment for the pop eye in the texas.


It sounds like it is a more general problem but we have no way to know
what it is. We can only address the swollen eyes symptom and it is not
easy. If it is already in a clean established tank with no other fish
and it is not getting any better you need to release the swelling in
its eyes. The only way to do that is to push a very fine hypodermic
needle into the side of the eye. If its not too late that will "cure"
the symptom.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I observed the pop eye yesterday, and i moved the Texas to a seperate
tank immediately.

Still I don't see any improvement in his condition, looks like the eye
has swollen more since yesterday.

Can you suggest some medication which I can do on him.

Thanks
