Hi,
I have 4 4" oscars in my 75G tank. I saw a strange behaviour in my oscar yesterday, I forgot feeding him in the morning but fed him at night.
I noticed that when i was feeding them, One of them was floating at the surface sideways. But there was no problem in his breathing. He is a Red/Black mix ( copper oscar ). But when he was floating sideways his entire body was plish red.
All the other three had no problem.

Today morning i saw the floating oscar to be normal. Is this a normal behaviour is oscars ????
The ammonia & nitrate levels in the tank is < 5PPM

I need the exact numbers for ammonia, nitrIte, and nitrAte.

What filter do you have?

How often & how large are your water changes.

Also, if you don't know already, you will only be able to keep 2 of those oscars in that tank (and that's only if they like eachother which is somewhat rare).
