Female clown has Popeye.

Lights came on today and my female clown fish has Popeye. Looking for advice on what I can do to treat it. I am looking for a tank to set up as a quarantine as we speak. All help is appreciated.

I'll be home in an hour I have more tanks than you can shake a stick at if you need to borrow one

I've left her a few messages. Still no call back.

What medications can I use?

This sucks.

Think its trauma related or viral?

I'm beginning to think it is trauma related. If you look at the pic you can see a scratch to the inside of her eye.

I've read you can treat with Epson salt if its trauma, no first hand exp though.

Josh, pop eye is not an easy fix. The treatment is going to depend on if its trauma or viral. Just becuase you see a scratch does not mean its trauma, once pop eye develops fish tend to "flash".

Ive never personally treated it, but my marble wrasse had it, I just left it be and it eventually went away on its own.

Do you think I'd be better off just leaving it be? I was thinking of taking her out and medicating her over night or so and putting her back in. I don't want to take her out and kill her instead of making her better.
