Aquarium Advice Regular
I currently have a small aquarium (I think it's not even 30 gallons) that my 5" Oscar has definitely outgrown. I am looking to transfer him to a 72 gallon tank. I have a ton of questions that hopefully someone can answer:
1) How do I transfer him? Do I let the water in the new aquarium sit and filter without the fish for a week? No idea what I'm doing regarding transferring him.
2) Is a Marine Penguin 350 Bio Wheel Filter adequate for a 72 gallon tank with just my 5" Oscar in it?
3) Can I add a pleco/sucker fish to the new tank, or should I wait until the tank has some waste and algae for him to eat?
4) My current aquarium is constantly cloudy. It has been this way ever since I first got my Oscar, when he was only an inch long. I am assuming the filter is inadequate and that he is producing too much waste/ammonia, which is why the water is cloudy. Will a 72 gallon tank be easier to keep clear water in?
Thanks in advance for your help!
