My apologies, however you must admit your writing is a bit hard to decipher. I thought the 3 times was just in reference to melafix.

Either way, 35% water changes are almost pointless when it comes to oscars. I suggest you follow my recommendations from the previous post.

yea sorry about getting snappy but at moment i do that amount of water changes because i can't do it much lower because then oscar have no room to swim in :D so i do that 3 times a week and tank stays clean no dirt .

He doesn't need room to swim, he needs clean water. I do 90% water changes on some my of my tanks.

I sometimes do i water change of that extent but tank is clean no dirt under gravel at all maybe i think about it :D sometimes i will do more just depends how much dirt there is .


Thanks

:popcorn:

EDIT : speaking of water changes tank gets cleaned today might do that now ^_^
 
A tank may look clean but still be dirty. Dirty refers to the water chemistry, including hormone levels, dissolved organic solids, nitrogenous waste, and other things that hurt your fish.

I don't know but i will change more water now i was just looking at his HITH and its actually smoothed now just needs to heal .

Thanks everyone :D




EDIT : does anyone have a recipe you could use for garlic soaking thingo becasue called up my 2 LFS and they don't stock any >_>
 
Just a update not a good one well oscar not looking to good now just at bottom of tank doing nothing.
I tryed peas he did'nt want them none of LFS stock garlic guard because its not bought often enough for them to do so and they need to restock in live foods.
I think its only a matter of time till he starves to death because he won't even eat beefheart <_< so yea this kind of sucks nothing i can really do except hope he just sulking and clean tank as per normal hope he pulls through .


Thanks For Help Everyone
 
Can u post some pics of him in his tank? There has to be a reason why hes not eating... you are doing many water changes which tells me the water should be clean.. Oscars can be sulky but they love to eat so maybe a pic will help us to figure out whats wrong with him?

Well i don't see how a picture would help hence he is just at bottom of tank leaning agianst the tank side and when ever i go near him he shakes his tail so i am guessing he telling me to go away and anyway my webcam is broken and other camera my steps dads one is not here hes got it his car and hes at work so yea <_< .

I think i just hope for best that he is jsut sulking now and will stop doing so in a few days .



EDIT : starting to think maybe he wants live food for a bit of change maybe have to look out of my area call up a few other palces i know of .
