I've never had to deal with dropsy so I can't suggest any effective treatments I'm afraid, but have you tested the water quality recently to see what they are reading?

Yeah I used to get around 30 at a time, every couple months

Yeah that's exactly what mine did and they hid away when it was close to giving birth, I'd still just keep an close eye on them but I think it's fine, youll probably just end up with loads of them haha

Hmm, 2 months seems too long lol guppies give birth after 3 or 4 weeks roughly, when I had my guppies they literally were always pregnant constantly it seemed lol although I did read somewhere guppies have to abilty to reproduce even after being separated from the males, to me they still look as...

How long have they been like this?

Hi, I don't tend to typically breed fish so I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but they do certainly look pregnant, I have had guppies act and look like this in the past, so I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.. Just make sure there are plenty of hiding spots so the guppies can hide...

Thanks! I haven't worked out the gallons but it's 4 ft long 2 ft wide and 18 inches tall. The marimo moss I ordered came today so I covered the rest of the waterfall, so pleased with how this tank is coming on now [emoji106]

Musk turtle, pleco, tetras and shrimp tank

That's great, I will be using it in the waterfall I made in my turtle tank to cover the drift wood so won't be fully submerged but the flowing water will stop it drying out

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if marimo moss balls can be pulled apart/cut up and still thrive? I know mosses like java moss can be but I have read mixed reviews online about marimo moss balls? Thanks

Great, thanks for speedy response! Hopefully all goes well lol

Might have go give it a try then and see how it goes, the oscar is around 9 inches so id have to try look for a decent size pictus as to not get eaten

Hi all, am looking into maybe getting a catfish or 2 for my oscar tank (just 1 white oscar on his own). I like the pictus catfish but would like to know if anyone has had any success with this.. (Should also add that its a 250 liter tank with an eheim external canister filter and also an...

I will be ordering his own tank in the next few days anyways but it was just a thought, I suppose the large water changes will most likely be too stressful for the oscar. thanks

Hey, just wondering if anyone has any experience with keeping an oscar with a musk turtle? Videos I've seen online suggest that it can work but I'm just wondering is anyone has any info/ experience with It? Thanks

Thankyou! what % uv is recommended and basking temps/water temps? I also have a tank with a 7 inch oscar in it but I heard the turtle might get attacked?? But the turtle is around 5 inches I've been told

Hey all, not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but I've made an unexpected purchase of a 3ft fish tank that comes with a musk turtle, this will be the first ever turtle I've owned and would like some advice on giving it the proper care he needs, done a bit of research online but the...

I have also looked into arowana (will hopefully get one one day), but the size they get, they will need a crazy big tank lol am going to look into upgrading my tank size when I get back from holiday in the next few weeks.. have also started seeing some aggression with my two fish as they are...

That's great, thankyou. the fish shop didn't have any floating ones left, so will likely order some online today or tomorrow

He is, he is about 5 or 6 inches at the moment, the oscar I had previous to this one used to cause havoc in the tank, I gave up in the end and just let him do what he wanted haha

I heard they might eat floating plants as they always eat at the surface of the water but it's a trial and error thing really as I was also told plants and oscars don't mix but mine seems to be one of the well behaved ones lol would eventually like to make an aquaponics system above the tank as...

I heard that too but my oscar seems to be fine he only ever digs in the gravel and leaves decor alone, which is good for me lol

Will see if fish store has any in today, thanks, also need it for water quality as I tested for ammonia and Its sitting slightly above 0 which I'm not happy with and my nitrates are up a bit too :/

Hey all! This past few weeks I finally have my tank looking how I want it! But i would like some ideas for top floating plants? I really can't decide which ones would be good to get? My stock in the tank is a white tiger oscar a blue cobalt cichlid and a pleco!

Im definately tempted to get another oscar and I used to keep angels years ago, great fish! I'll have to do my research and hopefully I'll find something that works, thanks for your help!
