i have been keeping green severums for 5 years .last month i noticed that 1 fishes eyes had started to bludge.first one then the other it looked like the membrain behind the eye was infected.he lost his color and could not swim to well just sort of hanging at the top. i moved him to the hospital tank and treated with a pop eye med.he died in 2 days.the others in the tank (125 gal) seemed ok. i did a water change and all seemed ok until yesterday a nother green severum eyes are doing the same thing .the membrain behind the eye looks swollen and soft like a balloon. is this pop eye ? help please!

| Honestly, medicating with "advanced" medications isn't very useful as with humans. Keep in mind that fish have no idea what chemicals or medicine is in the wild and they just fight it off with their very powerful immune system. Stress is the main factor as to limiting its power. So best thing to do is either isolate it in a cycled quarantine tank with daily or every other daily water change of 25%. What is your pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, etc in numbers? Did anything change before the first severum got the infection? (i.e., new fish, new dechlorinator, new water source)
