Dwarf gourami pop eye help???

[grode15]

My dwarf gouramis eye is swollen and I'm pretty sure its pop eye. Yesterday I notices my water looked green and the was this foam stuff floating around on top of the tank so I did a water change. Then I tested the water and pH was 6.8,nitrite 0,ammonia 0,nitrate was 20. Please tell me what's the best way to treat it.

Hey! Sorry to hear this, if the water is still looking icky today i would do another water change, did you boil your wood before you added in?? If not that could be the cause of the greenish water!

I don't have a quarantine tank for my fish so can I put the melafix right in my tank or will it just my other fish? Thanks

It wont harm your other fish at all, its all natural and helps make there fins nicer lol

So I've been giving him the melafix everyday for a week now and his eye isn't getting any better. Its still swollen and red and I'm pretty sure he lost sight in it since I don't see him moving his eye around anymore. Also he seems to just stay in corners of my tank and is breathing alot harder than he usually does. Also he's eating but he does not go for the food as soon as I put it in like he usually did before the eye problem. What do you thinks wrong with him?

So sorry to hear that, it's upsetting when you lose a fish.
