Hey guys.... not so much an emergency as this fish is keeping up with its shoal and is still eating like a horse, but I thought I should check into this before maybe it gets worse.

I know a pic would help but I dont have one and my camera is crap, so I doubt it would even be able to get a clear enough picture... so:

It basically looks as I said, its a crust of mucus or some sort of white puss at the back of the orbital socket of both eyes of one of my SD's. Their eyes sort of stick out a little from their head anyways so I orignally put this "white" as part of the flesh holding the eye in, but it has grown over the last few weeks and is quite noticable when swimming next to the other sd's that dont have this eye condition.

So, just wondering if anybody has seen this or if you know whether it might be an infection or something worse. Thanks :good:
 
How many gallons is the tank.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
is the eye bulging out if so thats pop eye.
Excess mucas can be poor water quality, to parasites,.
Any white specs on the eye as that can be eye flukes.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
Any excess mucas on the fish body or gills.
