Could someone please help me in dealing with this cotton like stuff on my oscars fin? Also what the heck is it?
 
Look like a fungal infection. I would raise the temperature to 85F or so, and add 1 tablespoon/5 gallons of water of salt. Table salt is fine (I've used Norton Table salt without any problems).

Or you could buy medication. I remember using Jungle tablets a long time ago, and they worked as expected. Just read the instructions carefully... and you might want to use a different tank, because that stuff stains the silicone.
 
How much salt to water is there a ratio?
