U mean white faeces?

 

[BloodThirsty]

parasites maybe?

 

[jpatz18]

U mean white faeces?

yes. have you seen that before?

 

[REC]

Do about a 25% water change............Raise temp to 82 and add aquarium salt....You say she has multiple oscars in this tank, how many and what size is the tank? White fecies usually means it has an internal stomach parasite but that can be curred with a proper diet and water changes. Your parameters sound good so it looks like your media is doing its job but a tank with multiple oscars has to be a very large tank with lots of filtration and weekly water changes are a must do to oscars are extremly messy. GoodLuck........
