Only A Matter Of Time (update)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It could be a huge number of different things. My first question would be what else is in the tank and if you have other tankmates are the fine or not? How old is the oscar? What is your water change schedule?

If you want to check my thread history thread that explains all that but he is in a 60 G by him self 2-3 times a week tank gets clean mainly 3 he is 1 year old and a month .

Also japes that a canister don't i need to do something to tank to install those ?.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING IT CAN'T BE SOMETHING LIKE THAT SINCE LOCO WAS RECENTLY TREATED WITH MELAFIX TANK GETS CLEANED LOTS AND I CHECKED MY WATER WITH THE LFS .
 
As Japes mentioned your filter is not going to do much to keep and oscar tank clean. They are just not designed for that kind of Bioload. The first thing I would do to try to save your fish is do a 50% water change, add another filter that has carbon in it. It can be a cheapy hang on filter or a canister filter. Up the temp to 80-82 and add some salt. You could have any number of things wrong but if it is a water quality issue then this should help almost instantly. You could have too many heavy metals in your tap water, or a number of other things.

It could also be that everything is fine and your oscar has some kind of fatile illness. Just because you provided it everything it needs doesn't mean it will always live to it's full life expectancy.

Good luck!

What's an internal fungus?

i am guessing disease of some sort but unlikely since tank is been treated and such.
