Hi there and welcome...

First off we need some basic info, tank size, filter(s), what all fish are in the tank, and what water test you are using.

ok, major problem is your tank size...Oscars require a MINIMUM of 55 US gallons each. You need a 100+ gallon tank.

How long has your tank/filter been running?

What are the rest of your readings? Nitrite, and Nitrate, and pH?

Those small fishes will VERY soon be HUGE monsters.. ok, the ammonia is present because your tank was not properly cycled.

you need to do a 30% water change everyday...Do not clean your filter at this time.
You also need to get a full test kit, so you know what all your water readings are.

On the home page you will find a section explaining how to cycle a tank... hope this helps

Welcome to our community

Your fish are very small at the moment which obviously makes your tank look quite big for them, however they will not stay like this for very long, Oscars grow very quickly and it will be a matter of only a very short time before they are too big for your tank.

We need to know your ammonia and pH for the time being. In the meantime, please stop feeding your Oscars, or give them a very small amount of food once a day
