Popeye.

My desjardini has popeye I assume it is from the micro bubble problem i had the other day I got it straight now, Should I let it run its course? my blue regal had it once and it went away on its own,

Let it be. As long as the fish is eating, it should go away on its own. Worst case scenario is that it can't find food because they eye is messed up and it starves to death. But that's rare.

Just try to keep your other fish from picking at it.It should go away baring no more injurys.

I have a different course of action, if I may be so bold. If it is pop eye or cloud eye, it can cause permanent blindness in the fish if not taken care of. While it may be true that your fish can heal itself, that is not always the case. If it isn't showing significant improvement in two weeks, I would prepare a small amount of tank water in a bucket (say a gallon or two) and prepare a treatment of Melafix. Catch the fish and dip him in the bucket of Melafix treated water for about 10 minutes. repeat this regimine every other day for a week and it will go away.

Again, wait it out for 2 weeks, and then dip it. Just my :twocents:
