Hi,
I have a pajama cardinalfish that has popeye in one eye. I have 12 other fish, none of them exhibiting this. The PJ appears to still be eating fine. I had to move my fish briefly into a QT tank yesterday, and maybe he got injured in the process??
My levels are:
Salinity - 1.022
Ammonia - .25
Nitrite - .25
Nitrate - 10
Temp - 78
My levels are usually all at zero, but I think because of moving all the live rock and stirring up the tank yesterday it may have slightly elevated them (plus my backup canister filter broke yesterday also, I'm ordering a replacement part right now, why is it when one thing goes wrong, ten more seem to follow?). I've got a protein skimmer and power filter still going. I've added some biozyme and cycle to the tank, I expect the levels to go back to normal in the next day or so.
Anyways, back to my PJ... Should I try to catch him and put him back in quarantine and medicate him (and with what)?? Or should I just leave him be and see if it gets better on its own?
Thanks. :grumble:
