    DSC00632.jpgI have placed my Parrot fish in a hospital tank as it has both eyes popping out of their sockets. Online help suggested water changes and adding Epson Salts for at least three days. I am not sure whether I am supposed to add Epson salts every day with the water change or not. Is this fish too far gone to save? It's not eating.

    Parrots have been bred to be massively deformed. Ailments such as this are not uncommon, and a lot of the time, unfortunately not treatable. Sorry.
