Blue Tang Recovered From Popeye

Here's a quick video of the Blue Tang that I recently brought back to health. He got sick a few days after I added him to the aquarium. He was rubbing on the rocks a lot and developed popeye in one eye. Now he's looking really healthy again, has stopped rubbing on the rocks and is eating as good as ever!

before u buy a fish learn about the fish, your tank is way to small for him

[lukemeister0]

@nlreeftank Not necessarily, he's been doing quite well in there for quite a long time, I don't crowd my tank and it's plenty big

what medication you use for the pop eye?

[lukemeister0]

@NEY310LA I didn't really use any medications to fix it, but I've heard that something called Maracyn can work - but I've never used it myself

i would euthanize it i mean its probably not happy its eyes are gone but thats just my opinion just a suggestion'

[lukemeister0]

@drewserb I took care to nurse it back to health and it's been alive in my tank, very healthy for many, many months now. I choose not to take the easy way out and kill things.
