Hi everyone. Can anyone help? I have been keeping oscars for many years and I currently have 1 albino & 1 red oscar. They are teenagers. The red oscar had recovered from HLD when he came to me, however, he's been off colour, not eating and appears to have only one gill working! I have used sea salt which has perked him up a little, but he is still not well! My ph is 7.8, nitrates about 19. Any advice would be most welcome. I am very puzzled because I haven't come across this before.

Hi and welcome to the site. i have tried to move this post to "Oscar fish" as it will get a better response there. But for some reason I cant move it. I would suggest you move it.

i have not come across a fish with only one gill working so cant add much to help. salt will help as you have found as this helps produce oxygen.

Kazkat has posted a second post asking for help under "Emergency please help". If you can help with the gill problem please reply under that post.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.

Thanks for the quick reply & the welcome. I am sorry about posting the origional question in in the wrong forum. I have opened another string in the "Emergency please help" section. Hope this is ok?

PS. This is an extremely good and helpful site.
