My albino oscar seems to be losing skin or something has been eating at his face under his eye almost like road rash for humans i will try to git pics but dont have a camera not sure how else to explain it. could it be a parasite eating his flesh he is eating and being normal not sure thanks :confused:
 
update after looking closer looks like my big oscar has like a round couple mm hole above his gill its an open wound white flesh every fish is acting fine eating but there is something going on what can i do for a parasite outbreak or is that were i start not sure
