I need some advice on how to treat my Tiger Barb with Popeye. I've had him well over a year, he is eating, behaving normal, but his left eye is swollen.
All other fish (mix of small tetras, a few guarami, three angelfish, two tiger barbs) are doing fine. (Except for one odd tetra that has been swimming vertical for several months, but otherwise healthy and active)
The water is fine, had it tested several times at pet store, so I don't know exact results. It is a 55 gallon tank, I do a 30-50% water change each week.
I have been treating with frozen bloodworms mixed with Metro+ health aid for 4 days. I have also turned up the temperature to 84 F and have kept the lights off. I also added a little extra aquarium salt.
I don't think his eye has really reduced in size. I can't tell if he's in danger of the eye popping or if he's dying, since he's acting normal. Am I using the right medication?
