Looks like a scrape. Clean water and it should heal up.

Probably just got in a fight with another pbass. Should heal up.

A lot of those Amazon fish will go insane when lights are turned on. They naturally live under dense trees and murky water, so little light gets through. They are adapted for darkness. When light goes on, it hurts their eyes same as it would yours. If you think oscars are bad try serrasalmids (piranhas, silver dollars, pacus). They don’t have contractile pupils so they go insane.

My peacocks get that all the time probably from a fight or scrape on filter or decor. Will look better than before it happened in about 2-3 days
