I’ve got two Albino Oscars, a male and female, I’ve noticed the skin shed on the male one, and I haven’t seen them quarrel anytime. A few days ago I noticed my aquarium colour changed to a light colour, like foggy, so I turned on another filter and it came back to normal, now I started noticing this on my Oscar. Changed the water 3 months ago, and that’s when I got the male, female Oscar just recently.

Your tank has very poor water quality due to the lack of weekly water changes required for an oscar. You said,

You need a liquid test, you need to do more weekly water changes. Start with 25% water change every day for 1 week, until you can measure the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

What is the size of this tank?

My tank size is 64 inch (Length) x 24 inch (Width) x 23 inch (Height). And thanks for the reply ?

Looks like injuries that got infected, fuzzy could indicate fungal infection. Just because you don’t see them fighting doesn’t mean they aren’t fighting (FWIW it’s hard to sex oscars, but even a male and female can fight).
I agree that water quality is a big issue here. While 150 gallons is enough for 2 oscars, they need a very big water change schedule to keep them healthy. I would be doing at least 80-90% every other week, weekly being ideal.

We had bought another bigger male oscar 3 weeks ago and it used to quarrel with this one, so we exchanged that with a female Oscar. This male was hurt a bit and lost tiny scales but I’m sure it got healed cause I didn’t see it again, so you’re telling it could be from that? Also do Oscars generally heal quicker?

All fish heal well and quickly with good water quality.

How do I treat or heal the Oscar? Are there any medications?

Having never had an Oscar, I can’t comment on their exact healing rate, but given good quality water cichlids can heal rather fast. It could have not healed since fighting the previous one or the new one. Poor water quality causes poor healing.
The wound does look infected though.

Medication is the last resort. Good water quality must be fixed first before adding medication. You always clean a wound before applying ointment, right?

+1 to what everyone else said on water quality and frequency of replacements. Many fish will show slime/skin problems when the water quality starts dropping, and it can also manifest itself in excess/shedding slime coat.
