Ive just read about this, will this be ok to use with my other fish or can it affect them, and due to light being a big cause of the fungus should I keep my lights off for a few days.

Right quite confused now Took the eggs out late yesterday evening as the eggs were all furring over so seperated them to keep eye on them, got home today and the oscars have layed more eggs, and not only that the parrot fish have layed eggs, but i am under the impression the parrot fish are...

Ive started with micro worm, and i have got a mix called aquifry 1. looked at the eggs this morning and some are furring over. Im not overly confident with this batch of eggs at the moment.

Thankyou, as this is my first egg laying im going to let nature take its course and leave them in the tank to grow and observe them rather than take them out into a seperate tank. Hopefully i will be posting pics soon of the little ones.

Heres a few pictures of them taking with my webcam, the last one is of the eggs on the slate.

Im totally shocked, the parrots are holding their own at the moment, their terrotory is at the other end of the tank, the problem I have is the plecs, they are sort of trapped, they are in a slate cave system i made which is exactly were the oscars have laid the eggs, so they are trapped and the...

Another amazing update. Came downstairs this morning and the Oscars have laid eggs all over a piece of slate and they are guarding it for life lol, the white spots have about gone on the big one (he only had a few anyway) but the smaller one (i believe is the female) as lost loads as she was...

I have a couple of parrot fish ive had about a week, they are destroying my substrate :blink: they are diggin holes in it near slate this has happened 3 times now but the first two times i had to push all the substrate back due to having white spot in the tank and having to do a water change...

Theyve made it through the night, i wasnt looking forward to coming down and checking this morning fearing the worse, the smaller one was in the corner at the top of the water, they seem a little happier at the minute, i raised the tempreature from 24 to nearly 26 gonna raise it a little more to...

There not live they are packaged and frozen, ive started feeding them on a special oscar mix aswell for variety. I used Tetra Medica ContraSpot to treat it. Probaably going to do the same again after about 5 days.

Another update, it appears they have got whitespot (ich) :-( ive just done a 20% water change and put the treatment in, I lost a silver dollar I just bought a week ago with the parrots looks like hes brought it in with him. I really hope they are going to be fine, im a bit gutted at the min...

Just an update here. The two Oscars mood appears to have changed and they are acting curiosly. One is shoveling a little gravel up at times and moving it and one is trying to move a big peice of slate with his mouth (with no luck as they are all locked in really tight), they are being a bit...

got up this morning and they were together in there usual part of the tank between the plants at the bottom together, they seem they are fine, as soon as i walked in the started swimming around and i fed them a couple of lance fish each by hand and even got to stroke one who in turn came up to...

Further Death? None have died, in fact they are still swimming around and seem fine and are eating food from my hand fine aswell, i just wondered why they were resting at the bottom like that now and again. I actually took a sample of water to an aquatics centre last week and he said my water...

the tank holds 450 litres, and the parrots came from the same tank as the oscars. i dont know any of the others sorry, but what could all the possibilities be.

I have recently bought a pair of large Oscars which I was told that they were infact a mating pair. Ive had them about a week now, one of the oscars is acting slightly strange to me compared to how they were to begin with. Over the last 24 hours the smaller one as been going to a certain part...

The room is colder and its been on for nearly a week now, it was warm to begin with, im wondering weather the heater is broken but the light still comes on as if its working, i turned it up full to 34c about 2 hours ago and I am monitoring it and the thermometer still reads 24.9, i know its a...

Hi I got a 450 litre tank and I only got a few fish in, 2 plecos, 2 eastern euro rams, 2 kuhli lochs and a couple of corys. A plant just came out of position and I put it back in and the water seemed rather cold, ive got a digital thermometer in and it says the water is 24.8C but it seems really...
