Comment please everyone...

Anything I need to improve on, especially the tank size, right?

Kindly take note of Red Dragon, one of his eyes I think is injured, any recommendation of curing it?

How big is your tank?

Looks quite nice, the fish looks nice and healthy. I was looking at the red Oscar with the poorly eye but it's a little difficult to see without a closer photograph. I hope I'm wrong, but it does rather look like Popeye disease, or may be a cloudy eye, although I hope it's just an injury. However, a closer look will determine this. Have you tested your water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates and pH. If not, could you please do this?

my thought exactly - maybe it's the photo - but it looks like Red Dragon has an eye problem - my first thought was popeye.

X3. without reading the other posts here I thought popeye. don't worry its a common problem. the red maybe cloudy eye? but it could be the pic blurred.

As ofl asked water test ?

glad you never had any problems with posting the pic's. some nice colour to your fish.

is that food on the bottom or poo. you need to remove if poo or left over food. shit shoveling time.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.

great fishes you've got there...i you are worried about the eyes, an epsom
salt can help to removed fluids in the eyes... snow white seem has bulging eyes
too.... there are times complacency make our fishes suffer without knowing it.
why? because we have wide array of comfort zone and neglected the water testing.

how big are they now and how big tank are they in?
based on the video, the tank is about 36 x 20 x 20 or 36 x 18 x 24,
too small for three oscars....

Thanks for all the replies and feedback... Indeed the Red Dragon is with pop eye disease... He got it when I got him... I believe he got the disease from the over crowded tank he was with the others when he was at the shop... I got him even he is with the disease because his color is so catching... Anyway to cure that pop eye disease?

Well I have yet to test the water cos I can't get those water testing kits... Over here, the only water testing kit available is a bottle of not sure what chemical to determine the water condition is good, normal or bad... And its so costly... I am still searching for other water testing kits... I am planning to go to the capital city to look for it...

Anyway, I might be giving away the Red Dragon and Snow White soon... They have been fighting too often recently... Everyday I got home, they are lip locking... Ai... Sad...

liplocking is normal among most oscar... just watch out up to what extent
is the lip locking... but as long as no injury happens, enjoy watching
it.... that also a ritual of courtship.
