Hi, everyone.

I have a 10g tank + hood lamp, filter, heater, air pump. 1 dwarf gourami + 2 corydoras. i used to have 3 corys, but one recently passed away.

I think my gourami has popeye. He's fine overall. He eats and everything, but one eye seems to be sticking out more than the other. :( Any effective ways to treat that? Will salt dips help? I put some Paraguard in the tank with stress coat water conditioner.

Also, during my last water change, some gravel fell from the vacuum and fell RIGHT on one of my cory's tail fins. I think he got crushed and now he's super lethargic. :( His tail seems to be broken - it's at a freakish angle, limp. Should I see if he'll heal, or should I euthanize him?

I appreciate all the help you can offer me. I'm really attached to my fish.

Thank you!
