Hello all I am LMC... I always had a love for oscars... they are so smart...
I now have 3 in a 55 gallon tank to soon be upgrading to a 300. (300 because i am getting a blueberry oscar in two weeks)
My55 gallon tank i think is finally leveling out. i found out what the white sludge was. my tank is now 6 weeks old and doing very well i might add. i am not so sure about all this nitrite and nitrate stuff yet. but i do know my amonia level is good and ph is good so hopefully all else is good too...
my 11 year old daughter has a 10gal with a beta and a placo. it was just a sorta plug and play tank... hahahahaha yeah right.. after 6 fish dying we have had the beta and placo in there for 6 months. so i figured i will get my oscars.
With my new tank i thought i would do things different... i bought the tank and let it sit for several weeks then bought fish.. smart ehhh... my oscars are great. they eat flake foods, and refuse the pellets. They love guppies. and brat( the tiger) always jumps out of the tank as soon as he sees me come with the net as he knows thats guppies.. although here lately he seems to be jumping out every time i open the tank weather or not i have guppies.. i think hes playing as he aims right for my hand or nose depending on which is over the tank.
the albino oscar is very stand offish.. and wont come to the top unless the lid is closed.
the yellow oscar is also an agressive eater but hes more patient than the tiger.
I just wanted to introduse my self and my gang...
