Hey everyone thanks for all responses after I posted the awful photos of my oscar, I have had him 15 months and I was shocked at what happened in such a short time.
Anyway I live in Santa Barbara am partially disabled, I wait tables part-time and manage a mens' sober living home, I have nerve damage in my head face and neck and moving the 5 gallon bottles of RO water have definitely taken a toll.
But I really enjoy my goofy oscar because he is alot like me.
Stubborn, hardheaded, messy and very detail oriented I notice every change in my environment.
2 years ago I actually said that fish were stupid pets and really served no purpose and then someone who lived here decided to leave a 20 gallon community tank with tetras, 2 bottom feeders (name unknown) and some little orange fish.
So guess who ended up taking care of it, thats right the guy who thought fish were stupid.
Anyway I'm hooked and I really hope I can become a better aquarist without the loss of my first oscar.
