Gar Eye Pop! Urgent!

[Jackyx]

Hi guys,

My Florida Gar's eyes pop-ed out suddenly. No idea what happened. Is it internal parasites? Please Advice. Oh and he haven been eating for a few days.

Also i got 2 other Cuban gars in the tank and some bichirs. they are all doing good. So if i need to dose meds, should i treat the florida else where or just treat in the comm tank?

Seems like internal bacteria infection. Happened to my toman once, no idea how he got it. I did not get any medication thou, did water change 20% everyday. dosed salt and melafix. took quite awhile to heal. took my toman about 1 month plus to return to his normal state.

Hi,

You may wish to try aquamedic multicure.

Works like miracle for all my fishes issues be it injuries or pop eyes.

Best to treat the whole tank. Do a 50% water change first, then add the multicure...

Hope your far get well soon!!

Thanks bros, did a wc yesterday and today his eye is back to normal.

Hope it stays that way.

Sorry to steal your thread

but can I find out if its the same treatment for discus pop eye? Melafix with salt? Is it correct to add a teaspoon of aquarium salt for every gallon of water?
