Where are you located?

If you want tank mates, get something larger than a 75g. Look into a 5-6 foot tank.

Buy some dithers like giant danios, You will want at least a school of 5. You tank is not cycled, I suggest you read up on how to cycle a fish tank prior to buying the danios.

30g-40g tank with a Cichlasoma grammodes aka mini-dovii. It is a slow grower, maybe an 1" a year.

Still no need to feed them chicken. Fish fillet is better for their health in the long run.

You don't need to fish your oscar beefheart. Why do you think they need beefheart? They will love other food like worms and crickets.

if you have a female blood parrot, and you get either a male firemouth or male convict, then they could breed with the blood parrot.

You can get african cichlids known as shell dwellers (N. brevis, N. caudopunctatus, N. occelatus, N. multifaciatus, N specious ) and can easily be housed in tanks as small as 10 gallons

No SA cichlid for the 10g. Get at least a 30g tank, and you can have a pair of dwarf cichlids. You should not buy feeder fish from the fish store. They carry diseases and parasites that will infect your fish.

Unless you have a breeding pair of rosy red for the last number of months, I wouldn't feed your oscar feeder fish. You can get the same results from feeding earthworms, crickets, mealworms, without having to worry about parasites or diseases from store bought fish.

Treating "Bloat" aka Spironucleus

Ammonia and nitrites can still be zero with a bacteria bloom. How much water do you change a week? How big is the tank?

I would think that the cardinals would be lunch eventually. I've seen pretty large boesemani rainbow fish that could work.

I haven't had an issue yet with nightcrawlers sold as bait. I've seen petsmart sell nightcrawlers from time to time. Did you ask the fish store what they fed the bass?

don't feed with feeder guppies, you'll introduce disease and parasites into your aquarium. Go with frozen food or pellets. The bass may not eat for up to a week due to being in a new home

Just ran into this treatment for HITH, if you water is already clean (under 20 ppm nitrates). Epsom salt will not harm the fish or any other inhabitants of the aquarium. Hoga With HITH??? Treatment 2 cups of distilled water mixed with 1 tablespoon of epsom salt, pellet food saturated with...

You have to be diligent about the water changes, and test the water with a liquid test kit. Besides the water change, start using liquid vitamins, and put a few drops on the pellets that you feed your oscar.

always ship next day unless they are really close to you like just one state over.

Those pin size holes are sensory pits, but the sensory pits near the mouth look enlarge, which indicates start of HITH.

You have more than 0ppm nitrates.

Your tank is not cycled, if it were, you should have at least 5ppm nitrate. read up on the links below Autotrophic Nitrifying Bacteria and Their Practical Application in a Freshwater Aquarium Heterotrophic Bacteria and Their Practical Application in a Freshwater Aquarium
