Pop Eye?

[bravefish90]

hey guys, I know I havent been on here in a loooong time but I am back and unfortunately with a problem, but luckily it is at my shop, not in my tank. The problem is, that in a new shipment of mollies every single one has pop eye! all their eyes are bulging out, they are in a "iso" tank , so no risk of infecting others, but I feel sorry for them. I Called the breeder and he says to destroy them and he'll send some more. I really dont want to do that but I donot know how to medicate pop eye. any help is apprciated
Thanks
Chris

You could try maracyn II or Triple Sulfa. Triple Sulfa would be the best, if you can get it. Here's a thread from another board with a betta with very advanced popeye in both eyes that Triple Sulfa brought him back from the brink of death.

popeye can be caused by bacterial infection, and also by stress - treat for both and keep your fingers crossed

So triple sulfa huh? well I got that in the shop so I'll try it. And thanx for your responses. I am no longer buying from that breeder BTW so I wont have to worry about this anymore(total disregard for the value of life) And they did appear stressed but that was because of shipment, i am sure.
