Can I ask, size of tank? How long have you had the tank set up? How was it cycled? How long have the Oscars been in the tank? What size are they? What is the tank temperature, what are the tank water parameters, particularly ammonia and nitrIte? What do you feed them? Any other fish in the tank?

If you could answer those questions, we will find it easier to help you find out what the problem is with them

we had them about 1year. from small tank we transfered them to 2feet tank about 3 months ago, we r definately not new but we r not well educate on this matter n no idea what water temperature or don't understand anything about water parameters, particularly ammonia and nitrIte? the shop where we bought them suggest we feed them small fishes n some pallet. we change the water 2week once and we change only 50% of the water. their size is about 11 inches.

Ok first tanks way to small, maybe add another 3 feet onto the length and hopefully depth and height around 15+inches..

hows the fiteration on such a cramped tank, iam think stunting which causes health issues,oscars are very messy fish

Do not feed live feeder fish to you oscars as this can be more harm than good, feeders usually habour nasty bacteria which could

make oscars very ill, feed a good quality pellet like hilraki<what country are you in?
