New to the forum. I have read and learned a lot from this site. Thanks for all of the info.
I recently got a betta, and I thought it has popeye, but now I am not sure. The photos seem to exaggerate how far the eyes stick out. I read that some bettas, especially dark blue ones, have eyes that normally stick out. I treated with a course of Maracyn Two, with no change. I am now on day 1 of an epsom salt treatment (1 tsp per gal). No change. The fish is active, eats everything I give him, is making some bubbles. It does not seem sick at all. Do you think the guy has popeye? Should I just continue with the ES treatment for a week, and then if no change then stop adding ES to the water changes and just see what happens to him? Thanks.
