http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=aussie-rainbow-s-on-his-last-legs#1
had a pair of beauties for about 6 months. a month ago, one of them developed what i thought was pop eye-cloudy flimsy growth on the eye, eventually (36 hours later) he had a hole where his eye used to be and he died. Happened too fast and i wasnt sure how to treat him.
His partner developed the same sympt on Weds of this past week. I did a 10 min dip in Copper Power Green, and began a cycle of maracyn plus. Bottom line-he is nearly gone. Hasnt responded to either treatment, the right eye is gone and there is a cavity there. he is listless and not eating. I have him in isolation b/c my black angelfish was terrorizing him in his moment of despair.
I really love this fish-he is the king of my tank and its so sad to see him suffer-any advice would be appreciated. Tank metrics are great-water change every week or so-all other fish are vibrant and healthy.

Im just wondering if it was the angelfish attacking the rainbows in the first place
