Hi Kyle,
Thank you for your letter. The problem could be due to over feeding. Read the explanation at my site.

I recommend that you follow the emergency care instructions at the bottom of the page.
To get rid of the disfiguration in the eye, try the Stress Coat treatment described on my page.
Please print the page out for future reference.
Write back if you want to discuss further.

Answer
Hi Kyle,
Glad to hear that. Just remember to reduce diet to minimal. Fish food contains animal products that rot in the tank and cause pollution. Keep up with the "Cycle" for all water changes. Storing it in the refrigerator will help the bacteria culture stay alive.
You can discontinue the Stress Coat as soon as you are ready. It is aloe vera, but can cloud up the tank if you use too much.
Just remember to feed less - you and the fish will be fine.
