How long have you had him? What size tank? Tankmates? Def. need more info. I'd start off by checking basics, such as, water temp and quality. How often do you do partials? Answer these questions and maybe can help you out.
He is in a 33 gallon i have had him for 1 year and i just lately did a quarter tank change and the PH and ammonia levels are normal. His under belly is yellow (albino oscar). And a tank mate is a pucostomus.
Thirty-three gal if not to small now, eventually will be. My oscars are very active and need lots of room to move around. I have one in a 55 gal. Oscars are also very messy eaters so you need to do partials on a regular basis. This does not just mean taking water out. The gravel needs siphoned regularly.
Do you have any other tanks? I don't want to talk like you don't know all of this if you are already aware of tank maintenance, etc.
