I said nothing about cycling the tank... I figured we'd cross that bridge when we got there. I'm asking if you know what you're getting in to. It doesn't seem to me that you understand that this is a brackish fish that requires marine salt, mixing the water to the proper salinity, etc.

Yes I kno its brackish I have spent hours upon hours looking it up and seeing to their special needs

Good answer dragonfish.

Many oscars live in 55s, it doesn't mean it is good for them. What it does mean is that they are lucky that it isn't so bad that it killed them that fast. It doesn't mean they will grow to be 20 years old like oscars can achieve. It doesn't mean they will grow to be over 15" like oscars can achieve. It means that the 55 is at least good enough to not have killed them yet. Is your standard of quality 'good enough to not kill them yet'?

Which Dragonfish? There are now two of us.
