my oscar is sick

Question
i have two oscars about 5 1/2 inches long, they seem to be loosing there flesh around fins, tail, gills, and eyes. there seems to be a fuzzy looking but clear fungus growinf off of them, but my main concern is thatr my larger oscar is goinbg belly up and floating with no reasponse to the feeders is there anything you can suggest??please

Answer
Hi Dylan,
 Unfortunately that sounds really bad.  It could be several things including fungus, ick or just one fish biting another -- oscars often attack each other.

 I do not recommend using feeder fishes.  All too often they harbor diseases, such as ick, which attack your oscars.  I never use them for any of my fish.
