ok i just looked it up im supposed to treat it with Methylene Blue and in a couple days retreat if fish still have it then do a full water change. please correct me if im wrong. do i need to scrub everything down? is there a easier way because this is in my big tank and it will takeforever to do this if i have to scrub everything and do a full water change. probably all day let along moving the tank outside to scrub it lol thanks

i believe your feeders have nothing to do with it. they have been ahead of your oscar and they do not have same problem. several factors may trigger that. be careful with the methylene blue.... it could kill you good bacteria colonies.
the link below may help you solve your concern.

dont use met blue in your new tank. it will dye the silicon seal. it may come off but will take months.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.

just want to remind you to make some adjustment on
aeration. raising temp deplete oxygen dissolve in
water, an air stone or rippling the discharge point
together with salt help increase oxygenation.
