I have a 7" Oscar with some kind of growth on its left eye. He has not
been eating the cichlid pellets I throw in the tank ever since I fed him frozen brine shrimp with spirulina. He will also eat the freeze dried blood worms I throw in the tank. Is the eye problem due to poor nutrition. The other fish in the tank are doing well(JD, FM, Salvini, Pleco - 90G tank). Should I add salt?
I do a weekly 35-40% water change weekly and my levels are zero with nitrate between 20-30. Any recommendations?
 
he probably has popeye wich results from poor water a pic could help identify
