Welcome to the world of Oscars.... They are cool fish, but they are perpetual mess machines.

Put a powerhead or flow maker in the tank so the waste blows to the filter intake.

What size tank and what filtration do you have?

+1 on no dead spots, keep the flow going into the powerhead.

i sometimes just get a net and swish the water a bit by the poop so i can net a lot of the poop. i have a 4in l-83 and it is incredible for waste, oscars are clean in comparison!!

how big is tthe oscar? x

Mouth has a good idea that's all I do for my l-83

Moved to FW and Brackish- General Discussion.

It would help if we knew the size of your tank, the stock list, and your water parameters. If you could include info about how long the tank has been set up and your maintenance schedule, that would be even better.

Also type(s) of filtration. I don't think it was in there
