Hi Fish Lovers,

I hope you all are doing well.

I welcome you all to Blue Aquatics. The YouTube channel that replies in 30 minutes and clears your doubts. The YouTube channel which shares complete information about Fish Keeping.

Friends, as you can see in this video, there is one Oscar Fish big in size is lying on the bottom of the tank. Yesterday this Oscar Fish was fully active, had eaten pellets, and was swimming fine. But when I came near to the tank the next morning to feed my fishes, I saw my Oscar Fish was lying on the bottom of the tank as you can see in this video and all the other fishes were swimming happily.

So just by looking at the tank and my other fishes, I was not able to conclude what happened to this oscar fish.

I immediately separated this oscar fish from my other fishes. If not separated on time, then it can harm other fishes available in the tank. Water in the tank gets cloudy as well.

So now you have got an idea about this video topic and now let me tell you How I saved this Oscar fish. Friends, if your fish is lying down at the bottom of the tank, then must follow all these procedures suggested in this video, and I am sure your fish will get recovered from this problem very soon. Also, at the end of this video, I will show you how this Oscar fish gets fine after the treatment.

Firstly let me tell you what I did with this Oscar fish to make this fish recover fast, and after that, I will tell you some other ways to recover your fish if lying down at the bottom of the tank.

Whenever any fish is lying down, make the fish stand straight. As you can see in this video, I, with the help of a fishnet, made the fish stand straight and kept the fishnet in the aquarium to give support. Secondly, I increased the air level and kept the air pipe near to its mouth so that the oscar fish should not have any problem while getting oxygen. Friends, always follow this first step and make your fish stand straight. You can use partition glass, filter to give support to your fish.

Now I closely checked the fish and what I saw was that the top skin of this oscar is completely torn. That means any other fish had done this activity and beaten this oscar very terribly.

Now, if I talk about the treatment, in this case, I used Methylene Blue Medicine so that fish should not get fungus. Also added some rock salt in the tank so that fish slime coat should form fast, recover fast from the injuries. Also, set the heater temperature to 28 degrees Celcius. Instead of salt, you can also add some antibiotic medicines like Tetracycline, amoxicillin as per the tank capacity.

Now left the Oscar fish for two days in this medicated water, and on 3rd day I changed 30% water and added medicine. On the 4th day, the oscar fish was fully active, as you can see in this video. Is living happily with other fishes and slime coat is also developed.

Friends, in my case, by just looking at the oscar fish, it was visible that any other fish has beaten him. So I treated accordingly.

If you are not able to find any injury on your fish body and is lying down at the bottom of the tank, then you can do the following steps to recover your fish faster:
1. aquarium water temperature fluctuations
2. air bladder issue
3. Fish Stress
4. 100% water change

I think all the points discussed in this video are sufficient for fish recovery. Before performing any treatment on the fish, make sure your fish is standing straight.

I am sure after watching this, video you came to know about fish recovery if it is lying at the bottom of the tank.
