whats wrong with my oscar,when i go near his tank its like he cant see me and when i put my finger on the glass near him he cant see me but when i say his name he hears me but doesnt know where i am so he just spins in circles like hes trying to see where i am.

is it possible that hes gone blind
 
Post pics. Sounds like you caught him sleeping. How is his behavior otherwise? Is he acting as if he is gonna die? How long have you had him? Id he fry sized or adult?
 
hes usually good he can be a bit agressive towards me sometimes but not much, he started doing it last night so it is possible i caught him sleeping but hes never done it before and he did it this afternoon.i dont think hes acting like hes going to die but its like he cant see me.i have had him for about a year since he was a juvi now hes about 20-25 cm. i will post pics soon.

just the one oscar, any tank mates?
what does his eyes look like?
last water change?

I think you should prob do a 45% water change in the attempt to bring the ammonia down oh and get a MASTER TEST KIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!
 
is his eyes gettig cloudy ? if yes , then there is probability that he cant see or seeing unclearly . if there is cloudy eye , try to medicate him with salt blue/yellow liquid . hope he get well soon .
 
if his eyes are cloudy its ammonia burn, water changes and plenty of em. Salt will help heal though, i thinks its a teaspoon/gallon, im sure someone can correct this if im wrong!
