Oscar Cichlid sick?
Hello, I have an albino Oscar. Last week I noticed the edges of his bottom fins were black and also a little on the edge of his tail. I called the local pet store where I normally go to get his feeders and asked them what could be wrong and they stated that he probably had a fungus. I went to askjeeves.com and asked a question about what could be wrong and found your site. I have to say I am very pleased as there is lots of information but nothing that exactly pertained to my problem. I did a 30% water change and for the last 5 days I have been adding Tetracycline tablets to the tank as the pet store advised to try to clear up the fungus they thought he probably had. Now this evening when I came home, my Oscar is kind of floating on his side at the top of the water in the aquarium and really acting lifeless. Could you please tell me what could be wrong with my Oscar and how I can try to help him and cure whatever is wrong with him. I don’t want to lose him, as he was a birthday present
