Oscar health

[Twood9615]

I have never really dealt with fish disease other than a case of Ich that my Oscar brought home from the fish store and so I need some help identifying this



It looks like it's just some missing or damaged scales to me and I've been keeping an eye on him and he doesn't seem bothered. The spots haven't really progressed that I can see but I'm a little worried it may be like LLE or HITH. Any help would be appreciated.

Other than looking severally underfed I don't see anything concerning from those pictures.

Well the feeding can be easily fixed but you don't think those 4 spots are anything dangerous? He didn't always have them that's why I was concerned with it.

I see the spots but I don't think that's anything other than a clumsy fish running into something.

What and when are you feeding? Looks to be wasting away.

They eat freeze dried krill and some pellets 1-2 times a day I didn't feed them last night because I got home really late and they hadn't eaten before I took that picture this morning they are usually a little more round

That's a severely sunken in stomach.. has to be something going on there.

It doesn't look as bad in person I'll try and get a better picture I think his bottom fin kinda covers his belly and makes it look worse than it really is none of my other fish have sunken stomachs at all and I feed them the same so I'm not sure what it could be unless he has parasites or something but I haven't noticed anything weird with feces which if I remember correctly is the main give away for that.

You are right Its the angle of the picture and the fin that makes it look bad
Last picture looks ok.

I got a jack Dempsey that had a sunken stomach and took it right back, something spiny was protruding from his anal, it was just weird.
