Kind of looks like a scratch. Any driftwood in the tank? I would start by adding salt to the water- 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons and watch it for a couple of days and see if it gets better or worsens

Sorry I didn't add a description of it on the original post. It's kind of hanging off of his eye and it's shaped like a tear drop. It slightly resembles an eye booger for lack of a better description. Could it be a parasite?

I just got Alex's PM. Does this move or is it just there? Kind of looks like a fluke. A few treatments for flukes are Quick Cure (Malachite Green, Formalin) or if you can't find that PraziPro (Praziquantel) or API General Cure (Metronidazole & Praziquantel). QC can also be conbined with either PraziPro or GC for diffacult cases.

It moves around as he swims, and it's sort of opaque in appearance as well.

Thank you guys for your help. Everything seems to be back to normal. I had my doubts with the General Cure but heck, it worked. Thanks again guys.
