Here is my problem... Last Thursday My boyfriend noticed one of our German Blue Rams eyes were popping out, they were not bad but still you could tell they were popping out. I was at work and told him to take him out and put him in the 10 Gallon Hospital tank right away. That night we went to Petsmart and bought some Maracyn Two, we added the right dosage and have now finished the first batch. We even added in a little Merafix to help, and some epssom salt as well. We did a 30% water change last night and we are on our second batch. When we first put him in there he wouldn't eat or anything, so I put some brine shrimp in there which he had to eat to breath (they were almost microscopic). The next day he was eating bloodwarms and flake food, which he did for two days. Then he stopped eating again. His one eye was popped out alot and he had a white mark above his eye (I think due to the Socket that holds his eye in being stretched). Now where that white spot is is has turned Red, it was almost blood red last night and he wouldn't come out of the Teracotta pot in the hospital tank. He also can't eat because he lost depth perecption and can't catch the food or find it. Also, his breathing has always been quite hard since he got into the hospital tank. Today I looked in on him, and he is no longer hidding in the teracotta pot and is our in the open. The red mass above his eye looks pink now, not red. And his eyes look like they have gone down a bit. I know he can see out of both eyes because he always puts his little mohawk up when I come to the tank, and he will even swim up to see me most times. Also, both eyes are still functioning because they both move, and you can tell the eye socket is still holding up to keep his little eyes in. I need to know how LONG does it take for this to clear up?!?!? Are we doing the right thing for him???? What else can I do for him to help him find his food?!?
