I have an oscar who was laying on his side and only using his right gill?? and swimming awkward I put him in quarantine and he was fine??? would this be oxygen problem, also in my other 55 gallon my jack dempsey was rubbing against rocks pretty heavily with her gills. I know thats usually a sign of parasites but what parasites would you suggest. Maybe gill flukes?? both tanks water parameters are amm. 0 n02. 0 N03 5 ppm PH 8.2 (steep but stable)
EDIT: oh yeah and temp on both is 78 F. These tanks are only a week old but I have used filter's and used decorations out of the tank they were all previously in (150 gallon) and I have nitrates so the tank is cycled I made sure before introduction
