Popped eye

Posted: Saturday, January 28, 2012 1:20 PM Quote

I have this type of tetra but yellow-orange.

The problem is that it has the right eye popped out and this is the third day with it.

Unfortunetly today I relised that on the left side it has like small red cuts. I think because it can't see well were she is going.

Can you please suggest me what can be possibly done.

Thanks

That is a Tiger Barb.  If only one eye is infected, it is usually caused by an injury.  If you have a quarantine tank I suggest you move it in to treat it.  You can treat it but adding 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water to the aquarium.  Also the aquarium should have optimal water parameters.  

I also suggest that you check your aquarium for sharp edges and remove them.

Thanks for the help. But I think its in a major state, so i decided that it is better for her to be flushed.

The eye got popped out and under it there was a sort of a ball (the size of a screwdriver) that I think that it was full of blood and the fish injuries on the side were also  full of blood.
