Hi,

Not long ago there was a discussion about dropsy. It is one form of it when 
the scales protrude on the side of the fish. The "popping out eyes" can be 
another form of appearance of the same disease. I think the great majority 
of these symptoms caused by bacterial infection. When the popping out eyes 
appear, again, it is to late to treat the fish (or to have perfect 
recovery). So, sorry to inform you about the bad news.

Once I managed to turn back the situation with interesting results: The 
popping eye as a phenomenon disappeared and the fish survived, but the 
desease caused permanent damage in the organs of the fish, and in case of 
water change, from time to time, the popping eye appeared for a while. So 
the fish remained highly sensitive to the environmental stress.
