The tank is a 55 gallon. I know that this is small for those fish, but I am planning on upgrading them to a much bigger tank as soon as we move out.

Hello. I just got a new oscar that im in love with! He is so beautiful. I love him more then any oscar ive ever seen simply because of his colors. I got him today, and when i put him in the tank he began being bullied by my two other oscars and my blood parrot fish. They chase him around the...

I did a water change, and all pf the fish are great. Theyre in a 55gallon. I got them when they were very small, didnt realize theyd get big so quickly.

I will do that. Thanks. I do have a lot of aggresion in my tank. My gouarmi, chases my albino oscar. My tiger oscar chases my gourami. My blood parrot fish and my tiger oscar lock lips all the time. And they are all young. Ive only had them for about a month. So im worried the older they get...

No. I just got my tank set up not too long ago. Ive never actually checked them because of the price. My uncle always had fish tanks and never checked his and they did perfectly fine. But if thats something needed for keeping fish tanks I will go buy one today. Which type should I get? Im all...

So, I was away from home for a few days. My mom fed my fish, two oscars, a gold gourami, and blood parrot fish, I got home and they were all sick.! My two oscars wont come out of hiding, and my blood parrot fish is laying on the ground barely breathing. However, my gourami is perfectly fine. My...

Thanks for your help. Ill think ill give it a shot, ill let yall know how it all turns out.

The slime is a whitish clear color. Hes just in a 1 gallon fish bowl, no filter. We change him every 3 or 4 days.

I was wondering what seems wrong with my betta fish. He constantly has slim all at the top of his tank. An its a lot, sometimes it gets so bad that its even at the bottom of the tank. He doesnt go up to eat the fish food either, he waits until it gets to the bottom of the tank, digs in the rock...

So far in my oscar tank, i have some caves and drift wood things like that. i was wondering though should I put some plants in there.? I wouldn't like real plants, but I was thinking about maybe some plastic ones? My uncle who use to keep cichlid tanks said that he never had any luck keeping...

@ Serverum Mama, I realized that sounded kinda bad, However i did not mean it that way. I know that water conditions are very important in keeping healthy fish. I simply meant that i am not concered with the size of my fish, and my regular water changes that my water is going to get bad and will...

Thanks for all the replies. Sadly my jack dempsey died, i noticed him breathing heavly so im not sure if he was sick. Im not too worried about the water conditions. I have two filters, and i will do regular water changes. But im pretty sure it will work out. They seem to all be fine now. Btw, im...

I have two oscars, and they are both around 1 1/2 inches. I also have a red blood parrot thats about 5 inches. and a jack dempsey thats about 1.

Well, the tank I got came with a heater. And now my oscar fish just sits there and stares into the heater. Is that normal.?

Also, do I need a heater.? Or would they be okay beings its getting summer time.
