I've got two new albino oscars and for the first couple of weeks
everything
was peachy. I put a power head in for a bit and found that one of them
didn't like it so I removed it and it seemed to go back to being okay. The
last couple of days one of them has been acting slow and listing to the
side a little. I've checked nitrites and ammonia and both are virtually
zero. temp is 80-82. They're alone in a 25'ish tank, they've got a rock
cave, some plants, and I feed them feeder guppies and dried shrimp pellets
(sinking).



"Virtually zero" ammonia and nitrites doesn't really say much- is this tank
really cycled? What are the numbers?
How about nitrates and your water change schedule?
Those protein foods make for some very messy tank conditions.
Are you perhaps overfeeding them as well?
What is a 25'ish tank- gallons, inches, feet?

I would probably advise a good sized water change unless I heard something
to make me think differently.
