That looks to be teh start of HITH ;) Get some closer clearer pictures for confirmation.

Delete the beefheart. to start. Oscars are already messy enough ;)

Add some peas ;)

Invest in some vitamins.. Always make sure when getting vitamins that they have Thiamine included int he ingredients.

And what is your care and schedule for the tank?

Also parameters?

Oh and brand of peelets so i can discontinue if that is what I use :D
 
Not sure, hard to tell from picks, but if it is, it can be easily solved by a more rigorous water change schedule and possibly a change in diet. If all else fails try HITH medication?

OSCAR SHOW™ are pellets specifically developed to simulate the natural feeding habits of oscars. Oscar Show™ is formulated with ideal fat and protein levels, appropriate for mature Oscars. Additionally these diets are packed with carotenoids (colour-enhancers), to prompt and maintain bright colouration.


Also should i just keep cleaning tank for now should i just siphon it and then get a bucket of water with water conditioner in it and do that every day???
 
25-30% water changes every few days, add a bit of aquarium salt (1tsp per 5 gallons) and keep the temp around 80-82F

Continue to clean, dont just siphon. Oscar's are way to messy to stop cleaning a tank
