alright i have an oscar and it began to get ich. i treated it properly and it went away. after that his eyes started to cloud up. i went to my local pet store and she told me that the eye cloud was a secondary infection from the ich. i told her how much i was feeding it and she said since i was feeding it too much, i was syphening too often she said i should only need to actually syphen once a month. and that i was removing too much of the tanks natural bacteria. she gave me aquarium salt and T.C. tablets. im following the tablets correctly. she said to put 1 TBS of salt per three gallons. so i did. should i do this daily until he is treated??

also, by the time i talked to her, his eyes were totally covered and he couldnt even really see. two days of treatment have gone by and much of the white stuff has peeled off the surface except the diect middle and its still cloudy around the rest of his eyes. but it does look alot better.

I know that oscars colors tend to change upon moods but in the last day i noticed that his color has gone from primaraly dark green to a much paler green except for his tail and back fins, is this normal??

is there anything else i should be doing?

Please respond, Thanks!
