He guys,
i have a RTC, about 50 cm,
he is having problems with his left eye.
ive tested the water,
Temp 27C, nitrit 0, nitrate 5 ppm, ph7,5 en the rest is good aswell.
he is housed together with 3 black arowana's and 1 oscar fish.
furthermore there are some feeders in the tank who are to small so the leave them alone. these are breeded feeders, all big fish are wild cought.
at first i thought it just was cloudy eye so i changed alot of water.
now his eye is getting thicker, and its looking not good.
how can i help him, and what is the problem and or cause?
thanks guys,
see pics.

no medication used jet, since i dont know which one to use!
i dont have a suited quarantine tank to treat him in, so it probebly iss gonna happen in the curent tank. did 2 water changes in one week, 40 %.
also added 1% sea salt with first change
