You're talking about the lesion on the white bar behind the eye? Is it just on this one side? How long has it had it?

Really tough to say what that could be - I doubt it is a parasite, the symptoms aren't right. Most likely, it would be bacterial. However, to have this for four months and the fish is eating well and growing, that is pretty chronic. Trouble is, moving it to a treatment tank and dosing with antibiotics is not risk-free, so you need to weigh the benefits versus the risks.
