Does My Betta Have Popeye + Betta type?

[HayleyMartin]

Hello,
I'm still very new to fish keeping and have recently received a betta fish. I wasn't planning to get a betta since I have Dwarf Gourami in my main tank so this guy has ended up in my 30gallon quarantine tank and will be living there.

I've had the betta for 4 days and day by day he's coming out of his shell and seems to be doing well. I added some decorations I had spare to try to make him feel safer but the tank is by no means great for a betta. It'll become a planted tank for him eventually. I think he's a half-moon betta but I'm not sure.

Tank
30 gallon
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 30
PH: 8.0
Temperature: 78oF
Filtered tank
Stocking: 6 male guppy, 6 corydoras, 1 betta

Since I only started reading up on these fish when I was given this one, I thought his eyes sticking out a bit was normal since his eyes have been the same since I got him. But looking into it more I'm now not sure if he infact has Popeye. If anyone knows I'd be grateful to know.

I'm also currently treating this tank with ich-x so if he does has Popeye can I treat both medications at the same time?

I don't think he has popeye, but it's kinda hard to tell. If you look at him head-on is one eye sticking out/bulging more than the other (A noticeable amount more)? If he had popeye he'll look a bit like a telescope goldfish.

Thank you for letting me know

Both eyes seem to be sticking out the same amount and he's not acting any differently, so I'll keep an eye on him and see if there are any changes. Thank you.
