i was in a pet store today and i looked at the fish and this Oscar caught my eye it was an albino it looked like it was malting it scales were not smooth like most Oscars i was wondering if this is normal or is it some kind of sickness i did not buy him
you made the right move.... healthy fishes will always sport firm and smooth scales. if the scales is protruding, or somewhat misplaced, it is sign of sickness. local fish shop usually neglect their fishes and when costumer bought them..... they brought home sickly fishes.
