Yes, it is pretty common. Is this fish new? History please. Do you have a QT?
Try doing a water change and feeding the fish food soaked in fresh minced garlic. If things don't improve, the fish will need to go into a QT for antibiotic treatment.

did you quarentine after you bought it?

I've had him for almost two years now... I've never had any problems with him before, I'll try a water change, and see how he comes along, I do have a QT, but getting him is not going to be easy!! What is usually the cause?? I figured maybe he was just getting old, (no idea how old this fish is he was full grown when i bought him.)
thanks for the reply's

Do the garlic that I mentioned. Garlic has a natural antibiotic quality to it as well as an immune booster.
What are your water readings? Is the eye puffed at all? It doesn't look that way from the pic.
