hey everybody im new to having oscars and i need help. i have a small oscar and his name is chomp. he has been acting funny and i have noticed his left eye is turning blue and his back fins look like they have lost their shape. he shairs a tank with one pleco and a snail. any solutions????

hi pls can we get your tank size and your readings for nitrites , nitrates, ammo, and ph, also how long your tank has been set up and its size, the experts will ask for all this info, xxx

We need LOTS of info from you yet,

How big is your tank?
Did you cycle it first?
What are your water readings for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and PH?
Can you post a pic?
What filter are you running?

These will help us help you!

BTW... Welcome!

And a photograph would be helpful

i have a 55 gal tank and it has been setup for about two or three months.i havent been able to get a testing kit for the ammonia and stuff like that but the pH is around 7.0

Ph is about right Ant but 55 gal is for one oscar alone. If he is small you will ok for now but have a plec in there you will run out of room very soon.
Filtration is a key factor in keeping fish. Your filter should turn over at least 2x the tank volume per hour.
Have a look at the top of the home page under health there are a lot of info there for your oscar, until you can get us a photo of your pet...

Call me Jamie by the way...

Hey there, Ant.
How often do you change water and how much at a time?
Do you use Prime/ waterconditioner with your waterchanges?
btw welcome to the forum.
