Bro, what do you mean by burst? Do you condition and age your water before introducing to the tank?

Possible overdose of anti chlorine.

What type u used?

Too much will produce more ammonia and it will cause blurry eye or bacteria bloom easily.

chemical poisoning. its like a bubble formed on the eye, and it burst, right bro?

no need the salt. put yellow powder into the tank, remove all filtration. do 100% waterchange daily. no heater. put anti-chlorine. it should heal in time, with some scars.

the fish will still be fine and breedable after they're cured

Bro, I do not recommend 100% water change daily... This will eventually kill the fish faster!! Also gotta compare current ph to new water's ph.

I made a grave mistake which I failed to realised earlier when treating my sick aro which eventually killed it faster... that is failing to check the ph in the hospital tank, when putting the fish to bath in furan/yellow powder....

Take Note...
