My molly has pop eye :( :(

I moved her to another tank I had set up for sick/pregnant fishies. She is still eating, which makes me wonder, is it from injury?? She is acting completely normal. My other fish in the tank are fine. Regardless, I'm going to do a 50% water change in the original tank. Anything else I can do???

Pop Eye is generally a bacterial infection, so treating with a med like maracyn should help. Don't forget to remove carbon from the filter since it will strip the meds from the water.

do a 20% wc every other day for a week that will improve the water quality and clear the pop eye if its not gone in a week then try meds but goodwater will cure almost anything
