Is it the only thing in the tank? I would consider catching it and QT if possible. Good luck trying to catch a damsel. Anyway heres a link that may help. Good luck!

My pigmy cherub angel had popeye (set up a QT tank with Maracyn tablets by Mardel) got that at LFS. Treatment lasts 5 days. If it's eating normally, it can recover. If it's not eating (well that's another story). Hope this helps.

On catching the damsel for QT:

I good big net helps

Or if you have an extra one, take the net part out and replace it with a fish bag from your LFS. The fish can’t see the bag *** well as the net so you could trick he little bugger in.

Or if it’s hard to reach, traps work ok, if you have free time.

On the popeye:

Littlemannin speaks true.

Maracyn works well. Or a dose of erythromycin
