My friend told me this afternoon that his Jack Dempsey is sick. He says that the only symptom so far is that the fish's right eye is popped out, so I assumed it was probably popeye, but I don't have any personal experience with this disease so I can't say for sure. Could this be a symptom of any other disease? I don't have any pics, and I don't know the perams since it is not my tank (but I do know that this is an established tank). If it is popeye, what would be the best course of treatment? Is popeye contagious- in other words, would it be best to qt the fish or treat the whole tank? Will the fish likely lose its eye? The fish is eating normally, if that makes any difference for treatment. TIA, and I'll keep you guys posted. 8)
