Clown Loach w/Pop eye
Today I was surprise to notice one of my biggest CL his 2 eyes were kinda popping out anybody has expirienced on this? and have cured something like this?
First step is to do a few water changes. Often this conditions arises when the nitrate has been creeping up.
Other than that most antibiotics can help. Treat in a hospital tank, it will be smaller, so you need less medicine, and the sick fish will have some peace and quiet to heal. If you can get him to eat medicated food this is good. Sometimes they will eat it just fine, other times it helps if you soak it in garlic juice. Fish seem to like the flavor of the garlic.

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!

Dose and duration are on the packaging, but if I remember it is a 5-day schedule, followed by (2) 50% water changes back to back + a day of activated carbon. Then assess, and possibly repeat the treatment.
One of these 2 meds is light sensitive. Turn off the aquarium light (room light is OK)
One of them may reduce the oxygen in the tank. Increase the aeration for more than average gas exchange.
One of them may cloud the water. Do not worry about it.
Standard dosing is fine for Loaches.
