Question
My electric yellow appears to have Popeye.  The left eye on one of my fish is
protruding out of its head.  What can I do to cure this problem.

Answer
Hello,
The best thing I've found that works for popeye is a medicine found in most stores called Maracyn Two. Though popeye becomes more of syndrome it is very likely for it to constantly come back. I hope this helps you!  The dosage is a packet per 10 gallons,it is recommended to use a hospital tank. Good Luck!
