Hi Guys
Sorry to barge right in as my first post with a problem, but I'm a bit stuck
I've been keeping fish of all sorts for many years (from goldfish to discus, and reef etc), but cant decide what's up with one of my old trusty friends, my adonis pleco. He possibly has some sort of eye infection, its like a white-ish circle, surrounding his eyes, right at the base, by the socket.
He's still eating fine, and looks otherwise ok - but obviously I'm a little concerned. I've been monitoring it for a few days, and it seems to be getting a bit worse, so don't want to leave it any longer.
He was a resident of my LFS for a while, whilst I moved house, and this kicked off just before I collected him the other day. I'm presuming he's either had a fight with something at the LFS, or he's picked up an infection. My tank is in good shape, and nothing else is looking poorly.
Should I just add some salt, up the temp a bit (currently 78 degrees) and wait a little longer?
Thanks for your help guys!

PS excuse the poor picture quality - I never claimed to be a marine photographer! lol.
