my tiger is keeping my lemon company. im afraid my Oscar is dieing of stunned growth. my tiger was half the size of my lemon now hes double. im so sad im staying by his side . he will sit on the bottom then then randomly streak across the tank. im almost positive its stunned growth because my water is perfect and i gave him paristite clear thinking it was a parasite but im afraid its stunned growth hand un-treatable

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

I think that this is a very sensible way of thinking. I wasn't quite sure whether to say anything before in case I upset you, I am glad you are thinking this way for the fish's sake.

Just remember when using clove oil the fish may continue to breathe for a while although it will be totally out of it. I think it depends on how strong the fish is

i have few questions:
1) is he totally not eating?
2) any mark of scale falling off?
3) any sign of rotting fin?
4) or any sign of wounds.

if none, i suggest you put him in a hospital tank,
use existing water tank and an spare pump, and treat
him alone. give him a chance.

when i lost my LadyGreyBelly, the BlackStripe stays
motionless on his side for a couple of days. using hospital
tank... he was able to recover and now very healthy. its worth
trying before the last option.

I feel for you.
Hope you give Paul's idea a shot.
I didn't know stunned growth could be lethal.
