Pregnant Oscar Fish?

Do you vacuum the gravel every water change? You could have waste down in the gravel that is decomposing and putting bad things in the water. You could also up your water changing to 50% every week, or 30% twice a week.

What and how often do you feed your fish?
i feed my fish cichlid flakes and blood worms and some people say that my oscar has bloat because of the bump on his chest
 
look, to be honest theres not an awful lot we can help you with if youre not willing to provide us with full details of whats happening here,

you havent said what filtration you have and you still havent said if you vac the gravel
changing 30% a week would be all and well and good if you just had the oscar in there ( but i always do more like 50%) just beacause your tests say the all is nearly ok, if all the crap is in the gravel,its like hidden dangers,
please posts pics of
the lump
the full tank
the filter
the test kit you use

no one is going to have a go at you, we want to help but at the moment we are still guessing the basics,,and have been for the last 3 days, the oscar could be well on the way to recovery by now, hes obviously suffering,so please come on help us to help you

ayayayayaya.

a quick read through your previous posts is really discouraging.

all that can be advised at this point is answering the questions from everyone. you have yet to do that and STILL have not done that upon request.

Answer this:
1)Tank Size --- are you saying this is a 70 gallon tank?
2)What you do for tank maintenance
3)How often you perform tank maintenance
4)What is the filter (Brand, model, etc!!! A big filter is not an answer)


That sort of stocking is already a time bomb. .... There is not much that can be said here if you don't work with us more and BE VERY CLEAR in your responses.

1 yes it is a 75 gallon tank
i use my gravel vacuum and tank out 30% of water per week
i said topfin box filter i dont know the model i just know that it is the biggest model i sometimes add topfin 30 box filter when the tank gets too dirty
IVE BEEN SAYING ALL THIS! carefully read the posts carefully
 
This should help (in his other topic):

Tank size:temporary 75 gallon
pH:7.0-7.5
ammonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate:18
kH:not sure
gH:not sure
tank temp:25*C

Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):usually laying on the bottom (sometimes goes up) of the tank not eating at all bump on fish near gill greyish color

Volume and Frequency of water changes: 30 % a week occasionally 75 %

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: i use aqua safe dechlorinator

Tank inhabitants:1 id shark, green terror, paroon shark, rainbow snake head, weather loach, peackock eel, oscar

Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration):nothing i took out fake plants

Exposure to chemicals:

Digital photo (include if possible):in my other topic (pregnant oscar fish)

There are likely a lot of things going on. First remedy, get all those fish out of the tank. What are you thinking?
