My husband saw 2 dead female congo tetras today...both had what we found out was pop eye. Yesterday all his fish were fine, swimming around and eating. Today, 2 dead fish. We saw another that was showing had the eye protruding too, so we removed her from the tank and put her in our son's 10g for quarantine.
We bought some maracyn 2 and treated that tank.
He changes his water 30 percent every week, and his parameters are perfect. The other tank mates are 6 julii cory's, 3 male congos, 1 blue ram, 1 gold ram and 1 bolivian ram. There were 5 female congos. Water temp is 80 degrees. Feeding them Kens fish food, which is a variety of vitamin flakes and color flakes. We also give them frozen brine shrimp 1 or 2 days a week.
He was reading on the internet that it could possibly be a bacterial disease, and something about gas build up in the tank? He has a cascade 1000 filter and a HOB that generates good flow at the top of the tank's water edge.
Please advise what are possible causes of this problem and steps for us to try to make sure none of the other fish will have this happen. We don't want to lose any more fish from this
