vet?....neddle?.... That seems a little extreme - just my opinion.....surely if you google searched you could have maybe found a different, less expensive way to treat him??<
>-unless there is no other way of treatment for popeye - I dont know, as ive never had that problem with my fish.....<
>I hope he gets well soon anyways.........  Cheers<

there is a lot of different views about it on forums. my vet has a friend in New Zealand  that works in some fish research institute so he rang him for the advice. imagine what this will cost   well here is to the health of the fronty  <
>will let you know how it goes.<

yea let us know the bill to, depending on the poor old fronty it maybe have been cheaper to say goodbye.
