One of my baby oscars has white film on his eyes and slight finrot? recently I had an adult die of similar symptoms, I have checked all water levels and they are fine.
I do have a Pleco in the tank with them would he be the cause? and should i separate the pair cause the albino is in fine health?
Please help...what could be causing this problem???

The symptoms your Oscar is exhibiting doesn't sound that serious to me. If you could take a photograph, that would be very helpful. Have you actually tested your water? If you could place the test results, we can be absolutely sure everything is okay.

Myxazin & Maracyn 2 are two proven medications that will treat a variety of ailments including fin rot. However, I don't like to add medication unless it's absolutely necessary.

The first Oscars I had a few years ago developed a film over one eye. I think this was due to stress, or maybe changes in water conditions. The film peeled off after a few days, does this sound like what your Oscar has got?

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved
