my oscars eye has a strange growth on it. it is a white lump in the center with about a 2 inch long tail hanging off the center of the lump. this just appeared in the last few days. i have another oscar about 10 inches long, a rope fish, a green terror, and a irridessent shark in the tank with him and they all are fine. its a 75 gallon tank and my water is clear. anyone who knows what this is or how to get ride of it would be greatly appreciated. my oscar is about 12 inches long and will be two years old soon. thanks

Not seen this one before. Could you provide a photograph. Does it look like some kind of parasites are you? There are parasites called eye flukes that fish can develop, I'm not sure about the long tail that you described though.

You say your water condition is okay. You are rather overstocked and that 75 gallon tank.

Like I said, if you can give us a photograph, we can have a slightly closer look

the tail part fell off but the spot is pictured. thanks

sorry, pic was too big. heres smaller one

still too big, trying again

Keep an eye on it for the next couple of days and see how things go. Hopefully it will start improving. Just make sure you keep your water in tip top condition. If things don't improve, or start getting worse, we will have to think about what to do next
