Look here. Can you tell me a little bit more about your tank? Are they WC or TCB? Did you QT?

8 seahorses. some babies. all CB from seahorsesource.

im planning to move them to a new once because i think i saw some hydroids.

5 gallon. tankmates include snails and sexy shrimp.

What are your test results showing?

If it is on one eye, chance are she bumped herself on something. If it is on both, move her to a QT.

What is everything you have in the tank with them?

I can't tell from the picture. Is it a bubble behind the eye or is it popeye where the entire eye is involved.

Any updates? What meds do you have on hand?

Bluemon · 09/22/2011, 08:15 PM

its not popeye. behind the eye.
i dont have any meds in hand.

tankmates include mysis shrimp (dsh eat them surpsingly well) sexy shrimp, buncha snails, and theres a hitchiken oyster/clam.

its on one eye, ill just leave it be for now because the seahorse isnt showing any discomfort.

all water params are zero, i am working on transferring the seahorses to a new tank because the current tank is kinda messy and i think sexy shrimps kind of bother them.

i have a bunch of coraline on the acrylic which i cannot get off and i saw some hydroids, which is why i am moving it.
