He is about 12 inchs, he is about six years old. I have a white albino ascor that is doing fine and protecting him from the socker fish What is wrong with him? How can I treat him to make him better.

Answer:
Sounds to me like POPEYE. Your fish needs an antibiotic. Go to the pet store and ask them for some Maracyn. That will help. Dosage depends on what size aquarium you have. IF it were ICH (which doesn't usually affect the eyes), get some NOX-ICH. Follow the instructions, and it should clear up.

Geez... that doesn't sound good. When they float belly up that usually means that something is wrong with their air bladder. The white spots could be ick, but I just don't know. If you have any treatment for that, you might try it. I have no idea how long ciclids live, but 6 years sounds like a lengthy life to me. I'd watch him for a bit, but if he has quit eating, is floating upside down, and doesn't responde to meds you might have to euthanize. If you think a vet would help, by all means take him. You would lose nothing in at least calling one to see what they say. One more thing, check your PH to make sure it's correct. If I recall, ciclids are very senstive to PH and like it more basic (closer to 8) than most fish (who should be closer to 7). You might also try adding just a pinch of aquarium salt to the water if that is usually indicated. Obviously, you should make sure all the filters and air ducts are clean and in good working order. Other than that, just don't flush him alive... That is cruel.
