sick oscar

[~*LuvMyKribs*~]

To add another bad note, (sorry) the kenyi need very different water chemistry than the oscar. They come from the rift lakes in africa where the ph is high (over 8.0) and the water is moderately hard. Kenyi are also primarily vegetarian and need a lot of spiraluna and algae in thier diet.

I would call first before you bring the Oscar in. There is a huge oversupply of adult oscars in "fair" condition. Good luck finding a home for him -- I am not being sarcastic. If you can't move him to larger tank, finding a new home is definitely the right thing to do.

I suggest that you start a new thread to do research on the Kennyi tankmates.
