I have a younger oscar and he seems like he is starving 24/7! I used to feed the tank once a day but now with the oscar its as if they want food around the clock. They are on a diet of live crickets blood worms and chichlid pellets

if your tank is big you could maybe think about an oscar, (some will disagree) I just added a young oscar in with my very large blood parrot for some company and they are great together! It really is just a trial and error game. I was advised to try a pearl gourmi at one point and it went...

I also treated with a fungal treatment as directed by the manger there who has many years experience.

I have a 50 gallon tank. It is well cycled. It's been up and running for over a year. Yesterday out of no where my blood parrot started acting funny ( pointing nose at bottom of tank, resting at top of tank) which is out of her character. I did a simple water change (like always) about two weeks...

I have a 40 gallon. It's not over populated I have 1 bp, 2 gouramis, 3 tiger barbs, and an oto. it smells like algae. It's horrible! I do very frequent water changes but it always smells. Am I putting too many algae wafers?

I'm beginning to think that too. I'm going to get 4 more for the 1 barb I have as soon as possible. how long do you wait after you treat ich?

Yes exactly like phiranna. Its kind of disgusting...they never show too much aggression my bp will chase the fish off if the come near her territory. My gold gourami is probably the worst hes constantly chasing the pearl gourami. The weird thing is, is that all the fish typically act like the...

I had 8 tiger barbs. My tank got ich I treated it and I lost 4 of the barbs in the process. Ever since then every morning when I turn the tank lights on and feed them I find one dead barb with its eyes pecked out and its body hollowed..sorry if tmi. I have just one barb left and no one is...

Yes the have white specks on their fins. I read that shimmy is were it looks as if their swimming in place and not able to actually move anywhere. They also have clamped fins. all the other fish in the tank seem fine except the barbs.

40 gallon Started tank on december 15th 2011 they are the fish I started cycling with so a month No meds, gradually raised temp to 82 degrees that's where I am with heat now. No salt because I have a dwarf frog and I'm not sure if that's ok I have quick cure but haven't used it yet

Anybody? Another one just died...I'm doing 50% water changes daily. Nitrites 0 Nitrates 20 Ammonia 0 ph 8.0 I've noticed in the one that just passed that he was swimming very odd. Almost waving in a way and I could see a dark spot in his stomach like blood or something. It was like his stomach...

I dont know what's going on but after researching online all their symptoms match ich or shimmy. They look horrible, clamped fins, not eating, and their doing the "swimming in place" thing. I don't know what to do. I've tried everything. Raising temps, frequant water changes. I had 8 I'm down...

I have a dwarf frog won't the salt hurt or kill it?

Ha ok gotcha now. No its still a new tank. When I purchased each fish they all appeared very healthy. I've had trouble with nitrites but I've been doing pwc daily (50%) I'll post a pic of the parameters. Bare with me they are the steps. I'm waiting in the api test kit to come I'm the mail...

I'm confused by what your saying sorry

I'm treating my tank for ich right now. It stated with my tiger barbs I put them in a qt tank but I can tell that my other fish are stating to get it. I've raised the temp to 82 (slowly of course) I couldn't use salt because of a dwarf frog. Has anyone used quick cure? I read up on it and looked...

Yeah I'm going to wait a little bit. I started some algae rocks and I'm going to see if that helps

Nygiants, I'm not really worried about the aggression too much just that my tank is too small. I have 2 now because I got him a mate to have in the tank thinking that might be why he was stressed but ask they had were like babies. Their both in the tank but haven't found each other yet...

Ha this was actually labeled oto algae eater.

Lol pet smart is going to hate me I feel like Im taking stuff back all the time! I guess this would be their fault though

That's why I'm confused. Do they just not like the wafers? I've got some live plants as well and I've put some lettuce at the bottom but he hasn't touched it

Uh o lol...what do I do if it is a cae? My tank is way way way to small for those!

I have a tank that I'm almost positive had ich and I've just started to slowly raise temp. Is the dwarf frog ok? Or do I need to try and move him out?

It looks like the oto to me

Well I sure hope not. Its not fun to buy something when your told its something else!
