Gunther,

Sounds more likely to me and I can settle for that suggestion. They are due
for a water change now really so I shall add some specialist salt at the
same time.

Many thanks indeed for your input and help.

Hi Gunther,
Photo? Well I have the camera, but I know after a long session in the
past
that it was rather tough...short of getting the thing out! He's only
3inches
long (bless) but I would like to ensure his well-being.

Certainly not a 'migrating' eye..sorry for the poor description.
Certainly not a true bubble eye G. Head on you can see he has a
protruding
right eye, and it is almost all black with a small lighter outer ring.
The
other side has a small black innner dot and a patchy pale outer
ring...it is
also flat against the head and looks normal from the protrusion point of
view.

If you are still in the dark I will get the boy out and take a few pic's
each side.

Do write back (or if any others know or have an idea),

No, this is better, I think.
It sounds like probably a traumatic physical injury, like some other
fish bit him, or he bumped in on something, rock? plant? whatever.

Water changes, a bit of salt (or maybe some Melafix), and
observation is probably all that's called for now,
unless he shows other signs of distress.

Naturally if anyone else here has a better idea, I'll bow to them.

Gunther
