hey guys, ive been noticing on my oscar that its skin and scales are peeling. i can see its flesh. i really dont think its being bullied because i never see that other one chasing it.the other doesnt have the condition too

ok, needing more info...
I need tank size, tank mates, and ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings...
What filter(s) are you running???

What are your water parameters? pH...ammonia...nitrite...nitrate...temp?


oops...haha...what Nicki said! Must have been typing same time she was!

ouch! 60 gal is good for one oscar only...
how big are your oscar now? perhaps it is territorial issues.

Got any sharp rocks in the tank? Mine got himself a flesh wound on one this weekend, while killing stuff...

they are about 3 inches so not that large
i actuallly did have a decoration with sharp edges but i removed it because i did think it was the problem but the wound is way massive

Can you post a pic along with your water Parameters?

Maybe burning itself on a heater (if sleeping up against it at night)? A little hard to tell anything without pics / more information on parameters
