One eye is huge, like a bubble??? What is this, and how do i heal my lil guy!!

Sorry to hear about your problem. The big eye condition is named popeye and I have never dealt with the issue my self but this link may help.

Best of luck.

Cool, i think its from him hitting rocks bc he was getting chased, so from what i read he should be fine on his own hopefully

Internally something is wrong. Gas or pressure is being released and the eye is the weak point in a fishes body. Not much you can do to help the situation other than provide him with pristine water conditions and feed him well.

When that happened to my clarkii back when I first started I checked the SG and it was like 1.033! When I got it back to normal it went away.

I had my female punk my little male and he swelled up when she rejected him-he got traded in for a new male and he eventually got better at the fish store-the other male has been coupled with her for the last 3 yrs-long story short-he'll get better over time

Wow thanks guys, hes mine and esp my fiances FAV fish, u guys just made me feel ALOT better!

Still the same swelling is down a tiny bit, but it doesnt seem to affect him at all.
