Hey one of my mom's friends has an oscar that apparently has a "yellow growth" coming out of it's eye. The growth is about half the size of the eye. I have not seen it this is what we read in an email. I can ask for more details pictures. She asked "is this normal?" well def. not normal... any idea on what it is?? And how to cure it, if possible? My recommendations would be big water change, raise the temp a bit, and probably add salt. Good idea? If so how much salt?

I know I'm being vague, but that is all the info I have. A growth on the eye sounds really gnarly...

:feedback:
 
Can you get a picture, what texture is the growth?
 
im trying, she doesn't want to send a picture, it sounds like the oscar isn't in a very good condition, apparently a 30 gal with other fish, maybe oscars
