I'm guessing that some bad feeders are the cause after trying to feed the CK's, as no one else in the tank is showing any signs of this. (No one ate them but the Oscars...never really gave the CK's a chance, lol, going to grow them out a little bit more before adding them again) But it's just a guess. They are both still eating; not feeders anymore of course. Sorry about the water spots, usually the result after feeding time, lol.
So what does it look like I'm dealing with? How should I go about in treating them? Really don't want to lose these two, definitely family favorites.
Help save Bruce!

My oscars had some white spots on their head, looked like hole in the head. Called our vet and he gave me Flagyl put some in the water, crushed some in their crayfish cleared right up.
 
full tank shot plz
 
I'm pretty sure you will have to quarentine and treat. once again, craig will let you know what has worked for him. Just keep in mind that just because it worked for him, does not mean it is the best way to go. So, after getting the specifics, explore and research every avenue of treatments for the safest/most effective. Once you have the scientific name of whatever it is, greater help will be avail.
