Question Silverdollar fish balloon eyes!

Hi everyone! I have an adult size silverdollar fish whose eyes are ballooning! I don't think it is pop eye because his eyes are not protruding out, it looks like clear skin ballooning over his eyes, baggy looking. He acts normal, like not sick. He is eating and swimming normally. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is normal or what? I'm not sure. The balloons seem to have gotten a little bit smaller since last week. But they're still there.....wierd huh? Its been that way for about a week!

Default Re: Silverdollar fish balloon eyes!

This could be a bacteria infection brought on by dirty water. Try extensive water changes (20-30%) over the next few days. Make sure you don't have a high ph (>7.5) and hard water, Silver Dollars don't like that..
