Bulging eye Fader :(

[peterp63]

Hey guys and gals,
My FH is sick and is need of some help. He's normally in a 300 gallon with a lot of large tankmates. They get into scuffles every so often, but nothing too bad usually....
Anyway, yesterday I noticed my FH color was quite pale and his right eye was swollen and white where it's normally clear. I've transported him to his own 60 gallon to recover, added Clout and salt. 24 hrs later his eye looks worse (pics attached). I did 25% water change and added another dose of Clout (as directed by Clout instructions). I did not add anymore aquarium salt after the water change. I am I doing everything right? Are there any other treatments that you can recommend.

Thanks so much in advance!
Regards,
Peter

I read that the bulging eye is due to gases being release by bacteria behind eye that is pushing the eye out or bulging. Any truth to this? Will Clout work here???

Thanks John. He's doing much better today. I added Epsom salt today. I just really hope he doesn't go blind in that eye....
