Its water is absolutely rotten and full of ammonia and the fishes protective layer of slime has been eaten away by the poisons. The fish will die soon if you don't change its water ASAP and then look after it properly.The basic rules for keeping any kind of fish sucessfully are. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (an Oscar is at least a 12 inch fish and should have at least 15 gallons of water). Every tank must have a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.

What do you do if your feeder fish has bumps on its scales?
If you are using the feeder fish to feed other fish with then I would toss them right away. If you plan on keeping them a while then I would treat your tank with fungus treatment or parasite treatment. More then likely they have one or the other. I would not let any of your more expensive fish eat them and take the risk of losing your bigger fish over a 10c fish. I got some feeders today and when I got home I noticed they all had bumps either on them or inside them and the feeders are for my big oscar and flowerhorn fish and i took the fish back because i wasn't about to risk losing my other fish. Good Luck

Why does Oscar have a bulging belly after eatting feeder fish?
For exactly the same reason your tummy gets bigger when you pig out and eat too much. The food/feeder fish have to go somewhere once they are swallowed so the Oscar has to swell up a bit until the digestion process is over.

Why are clow fish colored orange and white?
Clown fish are brightly coloured, and depending on the species, not just orange and white, some are yellow and white. It is thought that the bright colours entice small fish near enough for the anemone to sting and eat. The Clown fish benefits from scraps left over, and the stinging tentacles wards off the Clown fish predators.

Chicken wing bumps are formed on the skin. Chickens do not have a lot of skin cells so the bumps form as a result.
