boonahsider Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I need an expert advice. Today I just noticed one of my moba got eye injury or pop eye.. not too sure. Picture is attached for reference. This guy is smallest one in the trio as 18cm. The other two are like 20cm. Last week they've been transfered from 5ft to 6ft. Can I use melafix? Thank in advanced.

brucem Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 My WC moba seem to bump into things a bit causing eye injuries. As a consequence I've kept rock work to a minimum, and avoided sharp rocks and corals. Maybe their a little spooked in the new tank. Re treatment Myxazin is really good. You can also use melafix too. Clean water a must as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 +1 with Bruce the only thing is time with eye rub injuries, I have found salt the be helpful with Africans and would add 2 tablespoons of cooking or pool salt - non iodised - to a 6' tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckmeister Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I always try salt for most things external. Its a great cheap and effective first base to hit. Eye damage like in your pic would generally indicate a lost eye from my experience though, hope its not though !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucem Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Has the eye deteriorated or has it always looked as pictured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The cloudy layer will usually peel off when it's ready if it's on superficial damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonahsider Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I do have Myxazin in hand. Can I tread the fronts with both Myxazin & Melafix at the same time? or should stop Melafi and the start Myxazin after two days? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
