Currently i have a baby tank-raised Calarkii clown, who has one Bug-eye, it sticks out about 2-3x more than the other one (which is in his skull)

he doesnt have ick i know that, no flukes, just this one eye, it wasnt liek this when i got him 1 1/2 weeks ago. My ph is 8.1, temp 78-79, no ammonia or nitrates/nitrites, and salinity of 1.026.

PLEASE any response as fast as possible, i need to treat him quickly!

this question isnt worth an entire thread, but i need a few peoples opinion rather then PMing a more experienced person, ive never had this problem before, maybe because hes a Petco fish...(hate it with a passion, forced myself to check em out, decided i could "save" a fish or two from the crappy conditions..)

a fresh water dip may save the eye...but it may also cause the eye to explode..i think you can dip your fish in lugols as well...but don't quote me on that either..

sorry i couldnt be of any help..did you google for swollen eye?
