I don't know what's wrong :/ He lost his first eye about two weeks ago. Today he lost his second one. And I was sure he had popeye so I treated him with maracyn two for 5 days and after that I treated with melafix. Tmm would have been the 7th day on melafix. He's in a tank with two other fancy tail goldfish in a 40 gallon tank. I thought I should treat all of them in case it was due to the water condition; plus my ranchu was showing cloudy eyes, but after the melafix treatment it cleared right up. Anyways back to my oranda, after his first eye popped out I did a 50% water change right away and added in salt for two days then went and purchased medicine.
He always swam up to eat before and after the treatment. Before treatment he was a bit listless at the bottom, but if I approached the tank he would swim around. Other then the missing eyes I don't see anything physically wrong with him.
I'm worried that it's just more then popeye…He's around 1.5-2inches. I've had him for 5-6 months. He has recovered from a swim bladder and ich(he was bought in that condition). I just hope he doesn't pass because he is my first fish.
nitrite 0
nitrate 25
ammonia 0
ph 7.5
room temp
filter fluval u3
housed with
1 ranchu 1.5-2inches
1 lionhead ryukin 2-2.5 inches or possibly three?
Also my fish's eyes looks like the one on the right in this picture before it went missing T.T Idk if that counts as popeye or not. And I'm sure it's not bullying since I think i see the eye in the filter...
