My female oscar from a breeding pair appears to be Exploding her Diaphram out her anus. I need help deciphering the correct analisis, It looks like a pink cloud form with little hairs sticking out. I have not done anything to provoak this terrible incident, and I fear the worst for her. Please help me I feel like I have done something cruel to her without knowing it.

Sorry I was away! Yes it did look like that, But unfortunatly she passed away:(

Also our 16 inch albino oscar died but he was very old. We have had very terrible luck and our thinking of giving up.

Thanks so much for your help!
 
:( im really sorry to hear about your fish

don't give up, you sound like a great fishkeeper and the fish you already have are probably happy as ever
 
If you have other fish in the tank they probably will be infected too, just keep a close eye on them, for worms prutruding from the anus, the anus sometimes will look enlarged and red and inflamed.
When they are really infested they will look thin or bloated.
R.I.P.
