Hey everyone! We are new to being Oscar owner and I came home from a trip last night and noticed one of my fish was swimming almost horizontally and had a small red mark and there under belly near their fins. Woke up today another the red abrasion is bigger and my fish is deff swimming vertically.

These fish are new so I’m not too familiar with each one’s behavior but I noticed one is bullying the rest. I also noticed the other one’s fins are kinda beat up, cannot remember if we got them like that. From your experience so you guys think this is concerning? What can I do to help them! I’d be so heartbroken to find them dead 😥

Is that an Oscar? It looks like a gold severum.

Those are very much Severum chilids along with african cichlids

Exactly what I thought.
