half the wood in the tank is real, just the 2 bigger pieces are fake, and whats wrong with the background? it helps keep down light, and helps the fish feel more at home, it is an amazon pic, and it is an oscar, u gonna say your not a big fan of those either?

just do daily water changes for a week or so, and make sure you do test, and also if u can.. use an old filter media from another tank

the tank is now fully decorated

he is swimming to the top now =] but i havent seen him eat yet

well i hope this helps then, cuz idk if id be able to get him to eat

thanks, it says to only do it up to 3 times, every 48hrs, and do 25% water changes before doing it, but it doesnt say how long it will take, just says use up to 3 times. in 48hr intervals........ he still isnt moving very much.. but earlier about 3 hours after i put the first dose in, another...

i started him on a parasite fizz tab today, any clue as to how long it will take? im suppose to put more in, in 48 hrs. and i had to take the carbon filter out.

there are no pesticide sparying here, i live in a rural area. surrounded by nothing but forest, if it is a parasite, how can i treat it?

well ive fed him several over the last week or so

my guess would be a parasite from the grasshopper

his poop, is white.. if that has any info for u

idk, the test kit i got is a strip kind, its all availiable around here, unless i take a a good far drive, and the test strip says the nitrite and nitrate is in the "safe" zone

i have an algea eater, and a zebra cichlid in the tank with him , and they are fine

yes

and im not seeing anything different or weird looking on his body

and i tried feeding it earlier, and he didnt move, but i sincerely hope ur right, bout that, him just being lazy

yeah, i read that to tmcgee, but he has been swimming around all the time the past 2 days, and ive had him for a little over a week now. and from what i see ... he is laying on his stomach, on the sand and most of the time, tipped slightly over on the glass, or when hes not by the glass, laying...

and he does swim fine, when i try to touch him, he swims away rather quickly, but then he goes and lays back down on his side for the most part

the tank is 55 gallons, and ive only had the fish in it for 3 days now, i did the cycling and everything, the ammon, nitrate and nitrate are all 0, my ph is a little high, and i havent done any water changes since i put him in, he was fine yesterday, and he was like this when i woke up

that ALMOST happened, i was thinking, i wish 5am would get here, so id have a little light lol

i woke up this morning, and my oscar is just laying on its side, it wasnt doing that last night, nor showed any signs of anything wrong, all of my parameters are good... the only thing i can think of is i fed him a grasshopper last night... is it normal for them to lay on thier side, or should i...

i am going to boil it for a couple hours, then put it in an empty 29 gallon tank for a few weeks or so.

thank you very much, i do have the advantage of an extra tank, and my ph is a little high

ive seen and read about people using real wood in thier tanks, and i would like to do this, but what do i have to do to the wood, or can it go straight in? i think i remember seeing something about soaking it for a certain amount of time?

well, ive done some research, and ive read that they can be different colors than black, and i seen that they can be Olive green, and that would be an accurate color description of him now, and yes, he is in a light brown sand now. but, in terms from stress, all of my parameters are good, so...
