As for popeye: Clean out your tank because one of the main reasons of popeye is dirty water and bacteria. Make sure he is warm enough and fed enough :) Also isolate him if he is in a community tank. You can use medications like Maracyn, Maracyn-Two combined. Usually if you don't know what has actually caused the "pop-eye" you'd treat them with a "broad-spectrum" antibiotic like Tetracycline or a combination of gram-positive and gram-negative antibiotics like Mardel’s Maracyn and Maracyn-Two that contain Erythromycin and Minocycline respectively.
