Fish are surprisingly resilient, they can survive what looks like a really bad case of white spot. It can kill if you dont treat early enough but it sounds like you will be ok

Re:Is this Ich? 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
Well unfortunately my fish has died. I came home today from work to find him stuck the the filter pipe. After removing him from there, I notice he had been chewed up on his side. Even on the side of his face he had a few chunks of flesh about the size of the oscar's mouth missing. I'm assuming the other oscar had at him. Which I find strange since they we very close. They would always rub against each other, and even lay together on the bottom.


I'm wondering if the oscar I still have will be effected by the suddenly loneliness?

Im sorry your fish deid

Keep your temperature up at 30oc. You still have white spot in your tank and you still need to get rid of it or your other fish will get it. Leave it for at least 6 days after you have seen a spot

Your current fish will not suffer from loneliness, Oscar are not schooling fish like clown loach or silver dollars.

It is a possibility that you oscar tried to take a bite out of the dead fish- its a free and easy meal
