Yes, the images are blurry. The best you can do is monitor the spot for rapid change or growth. Maintain water quality and environmental parameters. Provide a well balanced diet along with vitamin and mineral supplementation. Unfortunately, without a physical exam, there is not much more to be done that you aren't doing already.
