I know it must sound kind of annoying but i just do not understand it. They just got done fighting about 5 minutes ago and i am now watching the smaller one swim over the bigger one. I mean i just dont know how he goes from getting beat up badly to actually swimming next to him.

Thanks for the help, and at this point the piece of mind. Its just really weird because i feed them blood worms and krill out of a squirt bottle and they eat together just fine. They don't fight at all but after a few hours ill notice that the bigger one is biting at him and hitting him pretty...

The only thing that has me worried is that the smaller of the two is missing a decent amount of scales on his sides. It seems like if im in the room nothing serious happens but i leave for an hour or so and when i come back hes all beat up.

I have had 2 Oscars for about 5 months now. They have been in their new 75 gallon home for about a month and randomly decided that wanted to fight. I moved them from a 29 to a 55 about 3 months ago (i was moving around a lot). Then once i got settled i set them up in a 75 gallon with a pleco...

sorry it has been so long since i've been back. I started student teaching and got really busy. One of my oscars ended up dying, i was told from a bad swim bladder. I got a new oscar a short while after and was a little nervous about putting it in with my old one. I waited until the 55 was...

I have been doing some more research on cycling but i have heard mixed opinions. I am keeping up on my water changes but some places say that water changes will slow down the cycling period. im not exactly sure what to do and i dont mind doing 2 a day or how ever many as long as it keeps the...

Well i think its safe to say that the one oscar is good to go. He or she is swimming around and eating the bloodworms just fine, but still it wont chase the feeder fish. The only bad news is that the other oscar has probably eaten about 5 blood worms in the week and a half that ive had him. It...

If i were to get a few cups or that gravel how long do you think it would take for my water be back to normal?

Thats what i was thinking once he said no

I was told by the guy at the pet store to use the ammonia remover. What do you mean it my tank wont cycle...You have me a little nervous now. i have two 20 gallon carbon filter pumps running right now. I have been told by alot of people to use extra filtration so i figured that would do the...

I just got back from the store...Ph is 7.3 while the the nitrite and ammonia is just over 1. Its not quite the shade of 2 but its a little more green than the 1. He said that isnt really alot i can do aside from wait because my tank is cycling. I bought this junge brand ammonia remover to be...

Well some good news the oscars are out of the cave about 50% of the time which is what i was expecting. However, only one will eat. The other follows it around but the blood worms will literally fall on his head and it just sits their. I will go tomorrow and get everything checked for my levels.

This might sound like a stupid question but is pwcs water changes? sorry i dont know the abbreviations that well. Ive been told since my tank is cycling that i was doing too many which about 2 and sometimes 3 because i want my fish healthy. So should i keep doing 2?

MANDY- I have been doing water changes right about 40%, id rather do too much than to little. My water is pretty cloudy, almost like it was just set-up. I spoke to my friend who said that i may have cleaned the gravel to much using the siphoning tube. He said that i removed the good bacteria, i...

Thanks! I talked to the local pet store and what he said is that when i cleaned my tank i kick it back into a cycle. The water has cleared up the last few days. DO you think ammonia will keep them from eating?

Hi, im new to this site so im not sure how to go about things. I have 2 oscars and one angellica cat in a 29 gallon tank. Yes i know this is small but they are babies and this only for about another 3 weeks until they go into my 55g at home and eventually into a monster aquarium when i settle in...

i am new to this site. i had a small 29 gallon tank with just a few starter fish. Now i have 2 oscar and an angellica cat. This tank is only temporary because i know the size requirements but they are still babies. My angellica cat is extremely energetic like it was at the store. however my...
