Bi -Color Blenny

adamfajge · 02/05/2011, 04:50 PM

My Blennys right eye is buldging out. Anyone know what has caused this. I have a Blenny, halkfish, closnfish, and a 6-line wrasse. NO other fish bother him.

It looks like pop eye to me. I don't know if saltwater fish can get this but my freshwater fish did. try putting in some melafix and it should go away. that stuff is natural and really works.

He either was attacked or accidentally ran into something. Either way, nothing you can do, just let him hide and rest and it will heal. If you try to catch him, he will stress out and not be able to heal, or make more damage in the process. Good luck.

Should I do the Melafix or do nothing?

I would do nothing.
Just let him hide, rest, and heal on his own.

I've had a clarkii with popeye. Scared me amost to death, but I just waited and it went away in about a week. There's nothing to worry about, your blenny will be fine.
