He doesnt have the bulging body, but both his eyes are extremely raised with
a whitle circle around them.....

there was one big change in the water, we have a water softener, and about a
week ago, i did a water change, a pretty big one without knowing that the
water softener had run out of salt.....so the water i used was very very
hard........

i have done another water change since then and the water conditions are
really good now.........
