Default Bulging eye on my trigger.

My poor Nigger Trigger. He's been hiding for a few days, but eating sparsely. One of his eyes is Ginormous! It's sticking WAAAAY out. Any cure or treatment?

you will need to take the trigger out of the display tank and put him in a quarantine tank.You will need to give him a 5 day treatment of Maracyn.If you try to treat it in the main tank the meds will cost about as much as a new car lol.

I thought you should only medicate if BOTH eyes were popeye? It's only one, but unfortunately he's not eating anymore either.

A bulging eye can also be from an injury. Either way, I highly doubt a full maracyn treatment would hurt anything (in a QT). No swollen abdomen?
Also, what are you feeding?

Ok, I just got my QT setup yesterday. He's going in tonight. He definitely has a fungus infection. He's got a whitish film growing on his body. Poor guy. He's eating a mix of frozen meats, red algea, that I chop up and combine with garlic and vitamin drops.

Has the trigger come around to normal health?

I have one too and he has something sticking off of his eye. I think im my case though he got a little to close to my yellow tang's spike, because he hasnt shown any signs of poor health.
