Hello im new to the site and hope someone can help me. Recently my red oscar has developed a fat bottom lip almost like a spot is on it and its made his bottom jaw out of line, he doesnt eat much at all now and is starting to look hollow . You can see the flesh in his mouth almost peeling away as he breaths and he keeps stretching his jaw but he jumps around in pain as his jaw gets stuck when he stretches it,but it then goes back??? please anybody know what it could be......hes in a 350 litre with a tiger which is fine ph6.4 kh6 gh6 n02 0 no3 0......many thanks ..kyle

It would be helpful if you could try and take some video so we can try and get a better picture of what is going on.

Does it look like an injury? Also, could you please also test your water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates and PH

Is the spot in the middle at the bottom

How big are the oscars and what filtration do you have

I don't quite understand them either. However I am assuming that ammonia and nitrite are zero which is good.

x5 everyone else seems to like putting this, so I thought I would follow the trend

Anyway on a SERIOUS note, I'm sure that someone will be able to give you some help once you post some video or photos
