Subject: black eyed bubble eye - help
|
My bubble eye, Britney, looks like she's gone 5 rounds with Pike Tyson. Her
right bubble is decoloured, just as if its bruised. she seems fine in all
other respects - swimming and eating and interacting with the others fine.
anyone any suggestions?
I've put some photos here :

Jacksy,
It is possible that your bubble-eye has gotten the
bubble caught somewhere and in freeing itself, damaged
the tissue of the bag. Sometime discoloration of the
bag fluid is because some blood has gotten into the bag
fluid, usually, due to an injury or roughness.
If it is interacting with the other fish and doesn't
seem to be bothered by it, you probably can just leave
it alone, but watch it carefully. It doesn't appear
that the bags are that large, so excited swimming
probably didn't injure the bag. If you want to do some
thing you should put the fish in a tank by itself and
go through a treatment with Melafix for a week or two.
If you don't have any of this treatment, you may try
a dose of salt at a level of 0.1% for about a week or
two. Personally, I would go with the Melafix. You
could also go with PolyAqua for about 5 days, but I
just noticed in you addys you addressed a group in the
UK, so this probably means you are in England and can
not get any number of items that I have mentioned, so
you should probably go with the Salt treatment. Also,
if you can get a hold of some Medicated food if you can
and put the fish on a regiment of this for two weeks,
along with the Salt.
The Bubble on Bubble-eyes are pretty tough, they just
have a tendency of getting caught or get in the way off
and on and take slight injuries that for the most part
look worse than they really are in actuality. As long
as the other fish in the tank are not molesting it you
just need to keep an eye on it.
It looks like you have large rocks in the tank and
these are pretty and may make the aquascape
interesting, but when you have Bubble-eyes you should
have a clear bottom with only plants and also make sure
it can't get between filter tubes, etc.

email lazulifawn@aol.com and ask her what is what. Jo Ann is the GF guru, has had
more experience with bubble eyes than anyone I know. Ingrid
