I have a Beta who is almost a year and a half old. He's
currently in a filtered tank. He use to live in a round fish
bowl with some marbles and a fake plant, however, maybe
about two months ago I noticed he had developed a pop-eye. I
went and got the Marycn and in the process of giving him his
treatments he just seemed to get worse. (I followed the
