Really?

 

[nicky b]

Yeah but I don't think its white spot

 

[walkers101]

whitespot wasnt even mentioned in the other thread

 

[micko]

It was suggested in the thread walkers kindly linked.

 

[nicky b]

So do any of you know why my oscar might be rubbing he's side on the bottom of the tank or not ?

 

[walkers101]

Sorry but i honestly give up now you need to take the things said in the other thread into consideration and you may then take a step into what is wrong

As already said by walkers

Given the lethargy and flicking, I'd say he's got gill flukes.

[micko]

I thought you were rehoming him?

 

[nicky b]

Yes that it right but I can't put him through the stress of moving why he is ill it might finish him off so I want to make sure he's fit and healthy and back to he's normal self be for I re home him, and plus its not nice re homing a fish with a illness and rising spreading it to he's new tank mates and plus the new owner might be a bit upset if I gave him a ill fish and if I told him about it he might not take the oscar off me hands
