It's an Oscar tank. 1 Oscar in a 55 gallon. It's funky whitish slime. It was on the sides of the tank and in the water. I wiped off tank sides and did like a 90% water change today. It is better but still there, I even took apart and cleaned my filter. It didn't apear until yesterday and I...

I have this stinky and nasty slime that has taken over my 55 gallon in the past 2 days. Today I did like a 90% water change with little affect to the slime and nastiness. I cleaned out my filters and vacuumed the gravel. What would be my next step? I need help fast. I can barely see my figh...

Well most of the ones that make it will evenually become Oscar food. I might try to auction a few off at the Minnesota Cichlids Association auctions we have monthly. I might give a few away here and there. So I'm not real worried about what to do with them all. I could donate to schools and give...

My Black Convicts that I have been trying for months to get to breed finally have Fry.

well I just got rid of the 20 long that I had. because I couldn't get the iron stand to level the tank no matter what I used. After all the work I put into trying to get the stand to level I just gave up and sold it. Maybe next year when I move I can work on getting more tanks. The landlord is...

Well dang now I'm back to square one with what do I put in this dang 10 gallon I have. I really wanted 2 rams and some corydoras. I could change the subtrate to sand even though I have no experience with sand, if I did change subrate wouldn't that put me back into having to cycle my tank again?

Thanks for the help but like I said we dont have softened water due to the water softener is not in use. Looks tho since all I have is a 10 gallon that Rams are out of the question. SAD.

I'm very inerested in the Blue Rams for my 10 gallon well established tank. But I have a few questions before I get these pretty little fish. I'm hoping here I can get some answers because everything online just gives me more questions. Can I keep 2 Rams in a 10 gallon? can I have like 3 small...

Thanks for the advice. As for upgrading that's not gonna happen for a while till I can either buy or rent a house. landlord of the townHouse I rent says the 55 is to big. It's not an option either to put the 55 gallon in the basement as there is only one plug in and it's next to the dryer, not...

I have an Aquaclear HOB on my 55 gallon Oscar tank. It's so dirty I was wondering if it would be ok to just throw it out and replace it with a totally new HOB filter? I've seen better HOB filters in my catalogs I recieve in the mail.:) Can I do this without crashing the whole tank? I dont want...

So glad he is better. I have an Oscar and have read this can happen to them also.

You could possibly donates them to an elementry school science class. Give them away at a school carnival. Join a local fish club and sell them there or trade or give them away. Or of course there is always Craigslist.org where you could post them for free to who ever picks them up. Your local...

Females always have some Orange in the tummy area where as males never have orange coloring anywhere.

They died from melafix? WOW!! I use melafix on all my fish anytime they are looking under the weather and sickly. never had any kind of problems with it yet. other then the horrid smell it has throughout the room when in use.

Today I took out the agressive male put him on freecycle and have someone coming to get him tonight. I added a different male the same size as my female into the 30 gallon and they are getting along GREAT for now. Will see how long this one lasts LOL. I have many many caves, pots and plastic...

I have a 30 gallon with 1 agressive male Black Convict who seems to rule the tank, and there is 1 femlae slightly smaller then the male who seems to hide all the time when she's not being chased around at high speeds. There are also 3 Zebra Danios in the tank added to kind of stop the males...

Is it a HOB filter? Just wondering.

Yeah these are just gonna be used so when I have some fry they dont accidently get sucked up into the filter. Otherwise I wont have to use them. It's just a precaution. I wont be using them all the time.

The decoration has been in my 30 gallon for nearly 2 weeks now and no harm came to the fish. I did boil it twice and after the 2nd air dry the smell was gone. The fish go in it and enjoy it so I think it's safe. What a hassle I went through to save 10 dollars on EBAY. Oh well boiling it twice...

Go for it then, it wont hurt to try.
