Angel with a bug-eye.

[kthc]

Hi, anyone can tell me what's wrong with my Yellow Angel.

Started abt a week ago, but it seems worse after I changed the water. Would it spread to the other fishes.

Thanks.

Another picture. It's still eating very well.

i had the same prob b4 with one of my anthias. Did a 30 % water chg, chg my filter wool, cannister media, n added nutrafin. After 2 days eye became normal again. Fed it frozen mysis soaked with garlic guard

Bug eye isn't a disease, it woudn't spread to other fish. Most likely you yellow angel bang against something thus causing the bug. It should go away in a weeks time, provided healthy w/o other disease.

I think that's really scary.. If any of my fishes ever had that, I would probably freak out! The eye look as if it is going to burst!

Thanks all for replying.

Dazza, I did everything you've done except for adding the nutrafin abt 4 days ago. The fellow just got worse....

Now, the pupil (or the black thing on yr eyeball) is facing upwards...

Only good news is the fellow is happily feeding and not too shy. Hope it really fades away...

The eye just pop out!!!

You can now see the eye-socket.... Anyone with a fish-size pirate eye-patch

Still happily feeding though, but seems more agressive, chasing my flame angel when it comes too near.

So you have a rare 1 eye jack yellow angel. That's cool.

Just kidding. Sorry to hear that.

wiao actually this is the first time i ever heard of the eye actually popping out. My fishes who had it b4- anthias, pocuppine & golden trevally all recovered in the past. In fact the pocuppine n trevally subsequently outgrown my old 4 footer n were released.. The anthia is still swimming ard happily in the tank. No evidence of the pop eye at all...

Maybe next time can sell this 'rare' & 'unique' fish for a large sum...

$1xx anyone

Being able to see the bloody eye socket, quite yucky

On a serious note, will try to maintain good quality water, at least for the next few days to prevent infection... So lesser feeding and cleaning the skimmer. (sounds like I actually know what am I doing..)

the problem that occure oftenly can be the problem of your sump

try to add more sump or skimmer may be better to reduce this problem
