Ok, about 3 months ago my cremesicle molly got a bad case of popeye. I treated it the best I could, but I don't think it helped because when the swelling went down her eye almost fogged over. When the fogging went away all that was left of her eye was a very small black dot.
After that, she mainly just lays down on the bottom of the tank in the corner and doesn't swim unless I'm next to the tank. She's also lost a lot of meat on her since then and looks like she has almost no abdomen. I thought it might be an internal problem.
But then my boyfriend was looking at her yesterday and asked if she was blind in one of her eyes. He then pointed out that she might lay in corner so she can't get snuck up on by the other fish because she only has one good eye. What do you guys think? And is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable?

. You will need to make your own decision here but I would recommend euthanasia rather than have her suffer unduly. If you need further advice, please ask any questions!
