Welcome to the site. the site has different rooms to post various information. for the very best help you will be better to post your question under " Emergency, Please Help" you will still receive help here but less people will reply. It sounds to me like white spot. are they salt size? and look like this

I agree, a picture would help us greatly.

This is important, are they bubbles or little white spots that resemble grains of salt?

welcome to the site

YES !!

Yes it looks like salt

Sounds like ick, or as it's known in the UK, white spot. Have you tested your water for ammonia, nitrite nitrate ph?. A very good way of clearing this parasitic infection is what we call heat treatment, basically you raise the temperature of your tank water and leave it like that for a number of days, this speeds up the life cycle of the parasite. However, before we do this we need to make sure that your water conditions are good.

I just got two new oscars and one of them his eyes are glazed over he is eating its just his eye.Can anyone give me a clue whats going on !!

def agree on the white spot call.

as for the eyes, it could be a fungel/eye infection...can get treatment for this from good lfs, just add the directed amount to yr water.

welcome to the site, hope all the info you will gather will help you and yr oscars!

Matt

but again a pic would really help us try and decide what the problem is
