From 1-2 months my oscar is behaving weirdly, he eats like usual but he acts like he got swim bladder and also wiggle his tail like when fish does during breeding time and recently I have observed that it's stomach looks bloated and his anus looks like someone drilled a hole in their .

I mainly feed my oscar live fish (quarantined) or small frozen fish. I have a wasteland planted tank (valesneria and crpyts), it's been 2 years since I made this tank (4feet*2feet*2feet), I have implemented techniques as dr.fish said in his videos, So I don't do water changes often and also due to because my tank only homes 2 Oscars, 1 Florida gar(recently grew to a feet) and some loaches, and also has golden money plant growing above and I also used to have a peace lily, mechanical filtration is bit on the lower side as my sunsun external filter completely got...., now it has a small external filter and a top filter (for a year), sorry for the bad photo quality my parents are not at home nor my big brother.

Size of tank?
Size of Oscar?
How long are you quarantining those live fish?

Based on information given your water changes are extremely inadequate for an oscar.
You need to test the water.
