Big eye on my percula clown??

APoirier594 · 05-14-2009, 07:28 PM

hey i dont know what is wrong but I have a Black Percula Clown in a 12g nano tank. It was fine this morning but I just noticed at 8 tonight that one of its eyes looks weird and big, please tell me what has happened, I have no idea.
I have had it for about 2 or 3 months now and its been doing fine.

Here are some pictures of my clown, and his eye

APoirier594 · 05-14-2009, 07:54 PM

idk why they are small images how do you make them big, i have a dslr and a slr camera which are like proff. cameras, i was using my dslr for these how do you get the pictures big on the thread. I will post them in my gallery later so you can get a close up

APoirier594 · 05-14-2009, 07:59 PM

here is the link to some bigger pictures, just go throught all my new ones and tell me about his eye, i will post some more to
And the quality and size was as low as it could go b/c i thought the site had a limit

Looks like popeye to me. One of my clowns got that after it got stung by a coral. I quarantined it for 2 weeks and treated it with Maracyn2. 10-day Erythromycin treatment works great too.

Yeah it is definately popeye. btw, that is not a percula.

APoirier594 · 05-19-2009, 06:28 AM

What kind of clown is it then? So what will happen will his eye pop off, it still looks pretty much the same

ladyonyx · 05-19-2009, 08:58 AM

Well, since it hasn't gone away, you should quarantine the clown and treat it with either Maracyn2 or Erythromycin for 10 days. That'll take care of it.

petlover516 · 05-19-2009, 03:40 PM

actually in not sure what clown it is....but its definately not a percula..ive never seen percula with neon-yellow pectoral fins. try researching it.

APoirier594 · 05-20-2009, 02:07 PM

you think it could be a occeralis(sorry i dont know how to spell that) and i only have 1 tank and its a 12g nano, but the clown is also my only fish

petlover516 · 05-20-2009, 03:38 PM

yes it looks like an ocellaris except for the neon-yellow fins. the only clownfish i know that has yellow fins like that is the clarkii. the stripe pattern is more like that of a clarkii, but the tail is more like an ocellaris....maybe its a hybrid!

APoirier594 · 05-20-2009, 09:42 PM

yea, isk, lol, but like i said i have to keep him in my tank, and will his eye actually pop off or just puffed for awhile

petlover516 · 05-21-2009, 03:31 PM

yes i believe it will just puff up for a bit until its cured.
