| Posted | Kribensis with swollen eyes |
| 16-08-2007 20:15 by mwilde |
I have just noticed my kribs eyes are swollen. It looks like one of these weird looking gold fish. I only have 1 krib. All the other fish seem fine. |

That sounds like 'pop eye'. I believe that its normally due to poor water conditions, if the water conditions are improved (water changes, enough filtration, gravel clean, not over crowded etc) then it should get better |

it could be internal bacterial infection and the eyes being the soft area they swell with build up of luids
something like water lifes Maxazin and vitazin but as Nick said check water and see if it can be improoved |

Good point Rob, but sounds like a problem In had ages ago. Water quality focus eventually cleared it up  |

Have to agree with Nick, it's more than likely pop eye. With water changes it should go down. |

You should do a 40% water change to see if it improves - if not then treat the Krib (preferably on its own) with some anti-internal bacteria meds (Aquarium treatment no9) |

Also, if it is due to poor water conditions, you're probably going to have to change the amount of water changes you regularly do, or buy a larger filter.
Is there any reason that water quality has detiorated? Dead fish or over feeding? |
