Pls help, My 4" oscar is breathing heavy and not eating

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi,

I noticed 2 days ago my oscar (out of no where) started to breath really heavy... get really lazy and stop eating..

he is 4" in a 180g tank , all levels are good and tankmates are not fighting.. he is the aggressor ist here is fighting, most the time

. i noticed today he is swimming a little weird/wobbly and now i saw him flash 2xs.. at 1st i though he was stressed but now i think it may be a parasite.. pls help, thx!
 
Yea search the stickies, it might be more effective/faster to use a hospital tank, and hopefully not spread to other tankmates

Salt rather then parasite treatment?... I don't have a hospital tank but I do have an empty 10g.. Would that do? Thx all

How much salt needed for a 180g , thx
