today i woke up to find my red oscar just lying on the ground dead. he didnt eat for 2 days i tried feeding him but he just lost his appetite. he was pooping white clear poo wich i later found out they were internal parasites. imma do a water change pronto so my other fish dont catch it. :((((
 
sorry about your loss
 
You may want to consider medicating your tank if one of your other fish get it. Chelated copper usually does the trick.

Medicating is a good idea to keep the infection from spreading. There's bound to be parasites in the feces.
