	Cory with popped RED eye.
jasonpisani Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	I just saw one of my Peppered Corydoras with a Red Popped Eye, what can it be?. I tried to catch it, but couldn't. Can the others get the same?. Will it spread in the tank?. Please give me some reply's.

Some fish will lose the eye and go on with life while others may suffer problems with both eyes. An antibiotic like Penicillin or Tetracycline can be dosed according to directions and some mixed with their food. --garyroland.

Here is my tank :- 380L - 2 Angelfish, 3 Rummys Tetra, 3 Emp.Tetra, 3 BN, 6 Albino, 5 Bronze, 5 Pepper, 4 Leopard & 1 Agassizii Corydoras. I don't think there are any predators, what do you think?. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

What comes to mind are Angels, who at times can be one scrappy fish. Some anticeptic, perhaps Melafix, added to the water may help if there's no antibiotics available in your lovely country, Malta. --garyroland.
