I had my oscar for about 4-5 months got him when he was around 2-3 inches long. He is now approximately 7 inches long currently in a 45g tank will be upgraded to a bigger tank in a couple of months. I feed him pellets, occasionally I give him feeders fish around every other month since I heard that feeders are not to healthy for them. He also has a tank mate a pleco about 5 inches long been with my Oscar near the beginning and he is doing fine. I notice my oscar has been darting around in short burst, started about a month ago. I did some research and people with somewhat similar problems and people replied to them that they should do some x% water change. I regularly change his water every week about 60% via gravel cleaner I suck out about 30% of the water then refill the tank and repeat then Clean my filter. I do not think it is the tank's water, though I have never tested my water before. Maybe it is a parasite/seizures? I am just curious what is happening to my fish cause now these darting are be coming more violent and he starting to rub his head on the gravel as these darts happens and is occurring more often. So please help me figure out what is wrong.
