Hello guys,

My flowerhorn has fallen sick

Its right eye is bloated

It has stopped eating, moving and not very lively. All this happened in a day, as I dint notice anything yesterday.

Aquarium is a big aquarium and has enough space. Attaching the pic. Any advice would greatful.

Is there anything it could have hit its eye on?

um_nirvani · 10-09-2009, 12:26 PM

i doubt any such accidents, looks like bacterial infection

. Guys please suggest any medicine. I am gonna keep him separately in warm water. hope he will be fine soon.

Yeah, I'd think an infection too but often theres a wound that starts it out, which possibly could be important.

Looks like a severe case of pop eye, this doesn't just "pop" up overnight. Google "pop eye" and see what you can dig up.

How big is the tank, what are the tank mates, how much filtration, what are you feeding...
