 |  Clown Fish!!!
My clown fish has a white eye (looks blind). It started going down hill really fast the last 15 mins. Just beacuse it looked almost dead i fresh water dipped him for 5 mins. It looks like he has 3 white spots and the white on his eye looks like its coming off. Anyone know what this is and should i fresh water dip him longer? |

picture could be more help, since the idea i have maybe the wrong one
i just put him back in the main tank because he might be stressed enough already!
5min. in fresh water is probably all that he can stand | |

Pop eye is more of a condition than anything else. The eye could have been scratched or there could be an underlying bacterial infection. If you suspect infection and you have a QT, I would remove him. If it is trauma, I would leave him in unless the other fish are bugging him.
If it is bacterial, a broad spectrum antibiotic (tetracycline as an example) can be used, but I hesitate to use it in anything but a QT. I don't know much about treating entire tanks and the consequences thereof.
Be aware that the fish may lose sight in that eye. It is not a for sure thing, it just depends on how bad the intraocular pressure gets and how much damage is done to the optic nerve.
Good luck man.......and Peace.......John. _________ 90g HW: 20g Sump, ETSS PSw/Mag9, CPR OF/Rio 2100 RTN, MJ AC 2K3 PH's (2800GPH ttl flow), 300W htr, Gnd Prb, Denitrator, UV, PCs: 2x65,4x55 Fish: Ylw Tang, LM Blenny, Hmbg, Y-T, Ylw dmsls, Mrn Clown, Coral Beauty, Red Crs Wrsse.
