Hi
I'm not a fw keeper, (I'm starting SW) however, my daughter has a cichlid tank. She has 5 fish in it (2 Oscars & 3 Cichlids). Since I haven't posted here, I don't want to start a bunch of threads but I have a few more pictures with a few questions so I'd like to keep it all together if that's ok.
I'll start with the 2 Oscars. I'd like to know if anyone can tell me what is wrong with this Oscar and how to heal him. His skin is falling off (well just before I left tonite, it finally fell off), His top fins (on his back) are jagged and so are the fins under his belly. On the other side of him he has patches where his scales are falling off but the skin is still intact. Also there are a few dark spots his chin, his face looks rough (kinda wrinkled). I compared him to the other Oscar since I know nothing about them and the other oscar's color was better, smoothing "skin", face, no spots on face and all skin/scales and fins are intact. Actually a cool looking fish. They are both about 8 inches now, compared to umm I think like 2 or so when she got them months ago.
The tank is 55 gallon. I asked her bout the water parameters, she said they were good, she however did move the tank about 10 feet the other day.
Sorry for quality, my phone stinks, and for as slow as these big things were moving.......my phone really really stinks.
Thanks for any and all help.
