Ok guys I know we talked about this before but what can I give my neons to help cure bloat and popeye. I currently only have one fish with bloat but one had popeye before and in case it comes back again. I know a little but is there any things I can do like I have heard about the pea but what do you do about that.

Thanks

Pop-Eye:
This is usually the result of a bacterial infection. Try to give your fish the best water possible by performing frequent water changes. To treat this problem you can use a treatment such as Tetracycline from Mardel Labs. If possible, increase the quality of food given. Supplement with vitamin enriched foods.

Bloat:
This is not really a disease, but a symptom of a bacterial infection and possibly malnutrition. There are medications available but try to increase the quality of the water by performing a 25% water change every other day and increase the quality of fish food given. If your fish's condition doesn't improve, try the medication. Your local pet store should have medication for this disease. Remove any carbon filtration before using medication because the carbon will remove the medication from the water.

ATM, what does the Disease Chart say about Popeye? Check with the chart and see if anything can be done.
