Sorry to hear, any Oscars I've had from LFS are in bad condition when they arrive in shops; really maltreated and usually end up with ich or parasites :(

That's a shame cause I have always heard how great Oscar are but I don't think I will get another one.

I wouldn't lose hope just yet, we all get bad experiences in the hobby but when you do well (which you will) its that much more rewarding.

I would suggest when you first get a fish from a lfs to treat it just like if its wc. That way there is less of a chance it will die or possibly infect other fish . Simplest way is to add salt to the tank and soak its food in Epsom salt water .
