can you go a little more into detail on your setup. tank size, fitration, tankmates, water parametres(ammonia nitrites and nitrate temp).
this can go along way with helping figure out what may be wrong, if anything, with your oscar

when you say your ammonia is low do you mean zero. anything above is hazardous to your fish. also what are the nitrite and nitrate levels? your temp is little on the low side but nothing to severe. personally i would raise it to 78 farenheit. and finally what is the tank ph?
if you can provide these answers it would help in identifying what might be the problem with your oscar
