I would go get some medication from the pet store. I don't know if the other fish can catch it, but just in case, I would quarantine the sick fish. I hope he gets better!!

thanx alot for that web site that you told me to go to kc5gvn. i learned that i shouldnt have two oscars in a tank because they will pick on each other until one of them dies. what do you guys think? they are in a 75g.

I've kept two together, and several people I know have, without any problems. I have however seen a problem when three are kept together. Two of them will dominate the third one until it just stops eating.
