Hi, Jr has what appeared at first to be cloudy eye. I then discovered what looked like a tiny white threat sticking out. It's not to bad yet, but it's got me a bit worried. Can someone ID what I think could be a parasite and what to do about it. Thanks.

I can't really tell from the pictures, but it might just be damage from scratching against a rock. Keep your water quality high with the right hardness, pH, and trace elements (and weekly water changes), and see if it gets better on its own. If it is an injury and becomes infected, methylene blue will usually help.
