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.


It would help if you could check basic water parameters (ammonia,
nitrites,
nitrates and such).
