This doesnt sound good. As nickisue says can you post a pic and test your water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and Ph. In the meantime do daily water changes of 25% just to make your water as good as possible

shedding scales or skin in any fishes is a bad sign.... either due to
injury or exposure to toxin... it needs immediate attention and knowing
water parameter is one among many steps to be taken..... so please do check.

I'v completed the 60 Gallon Tank and tested water and all is good, I removed my two oscars and placed them in a Ziplock bag let it sit in new tank for 30 min till water temp inside bag reached same temp as water in tank, The oscar with the issues is kinda just hanging out but my Other one is swimming and enjoying the bigger tank hopefully he comes out of it thanks everybody
