dagnabbit, I want you fish MoJo!!! I love it... =[ That's the perfect fish in my eyes... as far as the species goes... Albino Veiltail... If I had just ONE fish like yours, I'd spoil him/her so bad... I'd buy that single fish a 180 gallon tank just to make it happy... you suck... =/ Where would I find an Albino Veiltail?
Oscar Newbie!
- Thread starter Arkady
- Start date
Don't say that word around here....... the "M" word.... you might get jumped by old people....... *looks over shoulder*
Devider
My Oscars are out growing their tank, Arkady is starting to pick on Creed a lot 'cuz of the lack of territory. I need a devider for Creed to heal, and to keep her/him alive until I get my bigger tank. What kind of devider should I get, and about how much do they cost? Creed's body is missing a lil less than half her scales. This is what happened to Grouch two days before he was murdered by Arkady... I don't want Creed to be his second victim.

you need to give up your fish.. Why would you even buy an oscar and only have a 20 gallon tank let aloe 3 of them?? people like you should not have pets
Everybody makes mistakes,but do right now and get the biggest tank you can. If you cant get the divider then give one up.
2 Oscars need at least a 100 gallon (6ft) tank. You need a 75 at minimum just for 1. I agree that 60 feeders are way too many and will surely cause an ammonia spike.
Offering feeders is a good way to kill your Oscars. 1)they can get bloat from too much protein, 2) The more you feed them live foods, the meaner they will get, 3) unless you have raised a healthy stock of feeders yourself you take a good chance of introducing a disease to the tank.
For substrate, I started out with a bare tank and eventually went to sand. I think I would rather have gravel like I do in my other Oscar tank!
For a tall 75 just get a 90. Has the same footprint just taller.
P.S. never heard of there being an "Oscar Expert" on this forum. I'm getting another O sometime in the next week or two. Trying to figure out where it will go as it will be number 4!

:banhim::banher:
...Guys, Arkady is already planning on buying a new tank, sure he made a couple of mistakes (if I am not mistaken he/she actually did put 3 oscars in the same 20g tank) but we all do, right? Just ask around on this forum (excuzzzeme and Big Mike are great sources) and you will get great help
