Many thanks for all your help guys. Was semi-sure wasn't anything to worry about but wanted your guru opinions. The white streaks across all the pictures isn't any kind of build up inside the glass, it is just motion blur from diffused bubbles. Again many thanks.

Gurus, As far as I can tell the white fringing on my tiger oscars find is a natural coloration but wanted to verify this with other owners. It's had this for a few months. He's in a 260ltr tank with a few tank mates. Know I'll need a dedicated tank as he grows larger. He's about 5/6 inches at...

You all have my thanks! I remember back in the day a bottle of water treatment would last ages but this medium sized aquariums sucking in the supplements like no ones business! Again thank you all very much!

Bought my friends 260 litre tank a couple weeks ago. Kept a far smaller tank a few years ago but the fundamentals of keeping the fish escapes me! Had a big ammonia problem but through some good advice on this forum I've managed to get it more under control. My question which I'm embarrassed to...

Now an hour later the ammonia has dropped still around 2. Phew. All this time I've been testing with both the nutrafin and API test kits, both well within their best befores and there's a massive discrepancy between the two testers. The nutrafin one was reading around 2 while the API said 8. The...

Again thank you both very much. Is "prime" the dechlorinization agent? I did a 50% water change with 5 times the recommended amount of water treatment in it without too much effect on the temperature and took my sponges out and left them in tank water during the process. I took a measurement...

Didn't use RO was using cycled water that the aquarium shop had and recommended.

Thanks so much for the replies. By prime do you mean the dechlorinization treatment? I know that the tank is blatantly over stocked but theyre the fish my friend put in that came with the tank. The young oscars are very small at the moment and the bigger one is still only a couple inches but...

I'm sorry on review the explanation about the sand was unclear. We removed the sand prior to transport and placed it back in the tank at my house.

A week ago today my friend and I transferred a mature vision 260 from his place to mine. We used a 50/50 split of original tank water and purified treated water I purchased from my local aquarium shop. The water used for transfer of the fish was discarded but we put the water used for plastic...

Great reply, I'm in the UK so not sure if my shop will have that brand but am sure there'll be something similar. Your help is greatly appreciated thank you!

Eating and swimming are normal but the fish can at times seems stressed but no more than his 3 counterparts. He doesn't seem particularly lethargic. As far as I understand it's a nervous breed of fish. Many thanks.

Please??!

No one?

Inherited a mature vision 260 litre aquarium just last Saturday. Transferred the fish from a friends house and without the obvious distress of transporting the fish so far so good, until the last couple of days I noticed one of the 4 silver dollars has multiple black spots on it's dorsal fin and...
