    I have a Black phantom tetra that i have realised today is sick. she has puffed out eyes, cant swim properly and seems to be paler in colour.

    what should i be doing with her, how should i medicate her?

    is there any hope for her. the other phantoms are doing just fine.

    thanks

    @themasterofSAURON, any chance of a photo maybe please, it will just ease things a bit in order to make a better diagnosis.

    From the brief description,your fish had "Pop Eye".... Usually caused by an internal bacterial problem and not contagious to your other fish.... Sorry for your loss mate!
