I recently treated my oscar for ick, as some of you know, and he's been fine for a while now....well now he has some slight discolorations towards his hind-end. He's been acting a little strange, but not too weird. I'll try to get a picture later, but anybody have any ideas what this might be? If i were to explain the look I'd say it is "Slimy" but I don't know if it actually is texturally.

I swear his environment is completely sound...water changes regularly and the tank is fully cycled. Params normal, everything.

Well I ran to wally world to purchase an airpump, that is one heck of an effect! I went with the bubble wall, unfortunately through the installation and activation process, my oscar fleed and scratched his side (not to bad). Now they actually appear to really like it. The water movement is much more obvious and the entire backwall looks like a stream of bubbles. :)

**Update**

Sylvio's colors have really started to stand out since installing the airpump! He swims around a little more and hides much, much less. At first I was worried that there was too much water activity, but now that I'm used to the bubbles it looks like it's fine, he loves swimming through the bubbles.
