Thank you all good suggestions, I thought maybe boredom, I've put ping pong balls in the tank with him, he attacks them/plays for about 10-20 seconds off and on then doesn't care anymore. I thought I read somewhere they could have oranges/avacado and needed the C, doesn't get much but I'll...

Hello all, been a while since I last posted about my boy :). I've got about a 5-6 inch oscar. Got him at about 3-4 weeks old, about 5 months now. The tank is: 75 gallons, only fish. Nitrate 5, trite and ammonia 0. PH 7.4-7.6 Temp 77 When I first got him he did the same thing, up and down/side...

Hello all, Got a newish tank (about 6 weeks) starting to get some algae growth. Also one very hungry oscar in it!! (he's about 3 and some change inches and AWESOME, kinda scares me how crazy he is at feeding time though, jumped up a few times biting my finger when putting pellets in) (its a...

As already noted, there is no reason to use water from an established tank, it doesn't have anything good in it. Substrate and filter pads do though so put used media from old tank into the new one. Distilled water, I wouldn't think that'd be good, fish need iron too :) (they need the minerals...
