Question
i have a clown trigger fish that has severe pop eye from a secondary infection after recovering from ich, and  i wanted to know which medication can i try to use in order to try and save his eye ,ive heard erythromycin,maracyn 2 and furan 2 but which do you think i'll have better success with if indeed the eye could get better.

Answer
Hi Alaica,
  The problem with things like popeye is that it can be the result of many different things. That is why there are so many suggested remedies.  I have had little success treating it so I can't really tell you my "recommendation".  Sorry.
