Sorry didnt really search too much, but im worried about my oscar. hes at the bottom of the tank staring at the corner, and his eyes are a little foggy. i put some feeders in there because ive never seen him not eat a feeder. So i put one in there, and he did nothing. the other fish in there are fine, but he just doesnt look good. he isnt on his side or anything, but hes not eating. earlier the mayan cichlid was picking on him but he doesnt look beat up just a torn fin. any know whats wrong with him, or have any ideas?
sick oscar

The cloudy eyes may indicate the beginning of a velvet or ich infection. I recommend either copper safe or Quick Cure. Note if there are any other symptoms. Is your fish suffering from rapid breathing. Are there any whitish to yellowish spots. Are there any cotton like tufts? Is there any abnormal coloring? Is the fish new or old?
i have a 20 gal with guppies that i feed to him. but earlier today he was breathing pretty rapidly and the color does look a little off. his breathing now is better but his color is still faded. hes albino so cant really tell if there are yellow spots that are noticeable. will look for camera and try to take some pics.
