Discus pop-eye

[Cuchurrumio]

It happened too fast, I came from work and I found it like that... With these weird eyes, anybody experienced this with discus ? What it could be? Bad water ? I have more discus in the tank they eat perfectly fine and look happy.

pop eye is caused by bacterial infections which are caused by bad water quality. try doing water changes every day for a couple of weeks. discus need a pwc pretty much every other day for them to thrive

what are your water params? discus need soft acidic water at least 80 degrees
