Oscar Veil Tale (LongTale Oscar)

[harshsoni77]

Have you tested your water?

Yes

If I did not test my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

I need your help urgently, I have a Veil Tale Oscar Fish, My parrot has beaten him and ate all his Tale & fins, As you can see in the picture the entire tale and fins is eaten by Parrot fish, I have now put my oscar in the other tank alone. What medicine should i put to cure him? And Please tell me if the Tale & Fins will grow back again???

Doesn’t seem like it will make it

It can’t even swim and float right anymore… it probably won’t even be able to eat. It would either succumb to its injuries or die from starvation. You should euthanize sit to end it’s suffering

I'm bothered by that vid...this has been going on for some time to get to that point. Good that you've separated the oscar. Dim lighting, have tank in quiet area. Put a bit of sand in to reduce glare. Bunch up some fake silk plants for hiding. Add salt (see salt threads for dosage). Hope for the best. Keep water warm and clean. Add fresh each day to help healing. Don't forget dechlorinator. Hopefully there's no swim bladder damage. The next 2-7 days will be critical. Once it rights itself, see if it will eat. You will NOT be able to house that oscar with the parrot, so make plans for another tank. Add airstones.

Someone else can chime in about meds. I would recommend sulfaplex.

+1 he looks really bad I think it’s best to clove oil the water and send him out peacefully

I’d avoid any meds for now. Avoid any additional stress. Wait and see. Agree it’s not looking too well at this point.

I would euthanize

Looks like ur blood parrot is taking chunks frm ur Oscar w potential diseases like fin rot T. T why didn't u separate them in the first place...... Whyyyyyyyyyyy ???

I bought the Oscar and they were good together the whole day, I gave them feeding in the night and went to sleep and when i woke up in the morning and saw this happening so immediately i separated Oscar, I will not give up on him. I have added some medicine and kept it under observation. Just hoping for some miracle.

Methylene blue is the only thing I would use, but that reqiures daily water changes with non-chlorinated water and re-dosing of methylene blue. This medications will help with external wounds, and bring more oxygen into the blood stream to help with healing. It's best to just use water from an established tank for this so you don't have to deal with the reducing agent properties of water conditioners.
