We had two other fish but they both died. They were in the same fish tank as the oscar fish and im afraid it is something in the fish tank. we had another oscar that was 5 years old and about 6-7 inches long that died and now any fish that we get keep dying. the only fish that has survived is this oscar fish and im afraid he'll die too. What should i do?

What does this wierd stuff look like? It's very difficult to help when we have no information. Is it white cottony looking stuff? Is it in his mouth? Or is it slimey looking? Is it red? Is there red anywhere else? Is it red patches or streaks? Does it look like the skin is being eaten away? Is there a dent in his head? Are the fins raggedy? There are too many diseases to be able to diagnose. Short of treating with aquarium salt, which is a good all around treatment, the wrongly prescribed medication won't help it. Thanks!
Here's a link to some diseases. See if you can match what your oscar has with any of these.

Is it white stuff on his head? How is the water condition? You need to tell us more information.
