It eats just fine and acts fine but I'm paranoid...thoughts/opinions? Here are "hopefully" the correct links...

I know they've got a little HLLE (but that was there before I got them) and they started getting some HITH but I have since removed the carbon after doing much research. We'll see if their little pin holes go away after doing that...

ok I c an not use the link for some reason but from the pic posted which is a bit out of focus I would say NO to bloat.. but if they are eating good.. do this.. get some small as possible whole shrimp with shell on from walmart etc... feed them some shrimp with shell on.. the shell will act as ruffage to help move the bowels well.. this will allay most concerns with bloat..freeze dried krill works pretty well too

further and not to be gross but how does its poop look?? is it a good color or whitish? is it solid column or stringy? fish poop can be the first sign and clearest sign of trouble..

I always expect the worst so I am NEVER disappointed but sometimes , instead, am pleasantly surprised!!!

Can you do like a 30 second video of him for us?

I'm teasing Jess your links worked fine. I just didn't try them at first. He looks ok to me so I would maybe monitor his behavior for a few days just to be certain. Make sure you at least get a 3rd opinion from someone who has owned Oscars before as I have not.

They are very helpful, I've seen many Oscar Owners on there and membership is totally free.
