    Was ok until yesterday.
    Eyes seem puffy or slightly swollen. Why?
    What should I do?

    Thanks.

    I was going to say they need their contact lenses changed but no it means that the water quality is deteriorating.

    A water change is recommended. Do try to locate anything rotting in the tank or filter-excess food-dead bodies. That usually is the biggest cause of water fouling up and increase in bacteria.

    Noted. Thanks.
    The fish is not active anymore. Keeps hiding even after water change.
    Hope he is ok.

    If you can put medication in your tank, put something like salt first 1-2ppt 100-200g per 100 liters. This will enhance slime coat and slow down/kill a lot of germs gently.

    My LFS recommended this Ocean Free - Internal Bacteria & Ulcer away formulation.
    Fish is still hiding. Eyes are still poppy.
    Sigh.

    i have a 4ft with lots of rummy nose and some had such problem. with all the driftwood in place it is very difficult to catch them out. does putting salt really helps? cos it seems its going to be costly if it were to dose directly into a 4 ft.. maybe 1/4 of medication gone..
