I have had my Oscar for about 3 months now, he is about 4 inches long and up until now healthy. I woke up today and found my oscar fish acting very sluggish and by sluggish I mean lying on the bottom of the tank barely moving. I then realized a fuzzy looking substance coming out his/her anus. I put in some parasite clear tablets. The fuzzy substance then disappeared but I noticed long poop with weird stringy things coming out of them. I since then cleaned the water and since then Oscar has been just lying on the bottom in the same place for about 3 hours. By the way I have a 30 gallon with a 40 gallon filter, a 60 gallon pump, a 60 gallon heater at 82 degrees F. Please help as soon as possible my oscar is my home dog and I will do anything for him/her. THANKS!!!!!!

First off he is in way to small of a tank 55g is min for an Oscar. Second sounds alot like parasites treat with parasite medicine and feed him lots of garlic. Parasites dont like garlic.
