Hello, I have two tiger oscars in a 125 gallon tank with plenty of rocks and places for them to hide. They are not fully grown. One is about 6 inches, the other about 5. These two have lived in peace since they were less than 2 inches. Lately, the larger oscar has started displaying some...

Thanks. Lucky for me, I live in Los Angeles and there is a plethora of tropical fish stores. I've weeded out the bad and only go to the good. There are a few that truly know what they're talking about and will give sound advice regardless of making a sale, I've been going there for a long...

That's what I thought, I've been turning it off when I go to bed, I'll continue to do so.

Hello all, question. I have a 125 gallon tank with 2 tiger oscars. Today I bought a 21" LED Bubble wand with 12 LEDs. They are surprisingly really bright. I know fish need "sleep" so my question is should I turn off the LEDs at some point during the night. The tank looks really pretty with...

They are not adults, they are around 6 inches. He's been a mean one since he was a baby.

Thanks for the reply. That's kind of a bummer, would love if they were all lyretails. At about what time are they sexually mature in terms of months? Is this the same time that you are able to distinguish sex? They all look like females as of now, which I know is normal. Thanks.

I have a lot of gold panda lyretail mollies. I have them all separated into their own tanks (adult, juvenille, fry). All of the adults are lyretails, they have given birth multiple times over the past few months. All of the babies have yet to develop the lyretail, instead they have the...

Tried and failed, the GT is just too aggressive, definitely lives up to his name. Instead, I put another tiger oscar in with my original tiger oscar and they get along just fine. They are happy as ever.

I currently have a semi-small tiger oscar in a 125 gallon. He is about 4-5 inches. I also have a green terror in a 55 gallon. He is a bit smaller at about 3.5-4 inches. Would it be a bad idea to put these two together as far as aggression goes? I love my oscar and my green terror, don't...

Hi, I have recently begun keeping lyretail gold panda mollies. All of the adults are lyretails, but all of the offspring of the adults do not have the lyretail, instead they have the regular tail fins. The oldest of the offspring are a couple months and a couple of inches. Is this something...

I'm getting rid of my Fluval FX5 because I cannot stop the dreaded microbubbles. I want to switch over to Eheim, but I am not familiar with them. Which Eheim filter(s) would be more than adequate for a 125 gallon? Thanks!

Thank you, Wilder, that is some good info. Luckily, he must have got the rock out on his own. It's been over 24 for hours and he's pooping normally, eating and seems happy as ever.

While feeding my oscar, instead of picking up the food, he picked up a rock and swallowed it. I saw it sitting in it's throat and then it clearly swallowed it, and continued to feed. My oscar is only about 4 inches right now and the rock, well pebble, was quite large. I know there is not much...

poor guy

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I used to have a biorb. When the sponge gets really dirty, take out the whole plastic casing assembly and then take out the sponge. Rinse the sponge in a bucket of tank water, and put it back in. Do not rinse with tap water as the chlorine will...

Cool, I think I am going to go with the FX5. What do you recommend for media? I've heard that seachem's matrix is better than fluvals bio rings. What do you fill yours with? Thanks.

Trying to decide on the filter for my new 125 gallon. I've heard nothing but good things about the XP4 and it is $150 on amazon. Fluval is rated at a much higher GPH, but it is about $100 dollars more and have heard of many people having problems with them, especially the micro bubble issue...

None taken, I appreciate your concern.

I already promised him to a friend, I am basically taking care of him until he gets his tank up and running, which should be in the next few months. He has a good life in the 30 gallon for now, he's only about 3 inches. Sorry, I should have phrased it "will give to a friend BEFORE he outgrows...

Nice job dude, love it.

I usually flush em, although if my beloved oscar died I'd bury him.

Hey everyone, I'm here to ask for suggestions on what I should stock my new 125 gallon tank with. Here is a list of my current tanks to keep in mind 55 Gallon "tetra" planted tank: 10 Serpae tetras 10 neon tetras 1 blue gourami 1 pearl gourami 3 gold dojo loaches 1 sailfin pleco 55 Gallon...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I recommend keeping these in at least pairs, they love to swim and "play" together. Here is a video of mine... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQspnK6e5sM&feature=youtu.be

No aggression whatsoever. I have a big pleco on the bottom and the loach doesn't bother it at all. I'd love to see others gold dojo loaches, post some pics if you got em!

Thanks for the reply. No redness inside or outside of the spots. No fluid in the spots. There are some spots the size of a grain of salt, but more blotches which look cloudy and white, not so much bleached out. They are not showing any other signs, they seem to be happy and normal, eating...

You won't regret it! Couple more... Comes up to the top to eat sometimes...

Hey, I'm new here, but here is a photo of my gold dojo loach. This is the coolest fish I have ever had. She has a lot of personality, I always tell people it's like having a cat or a dog in your aquarium. Very active and does not get spooked easily, will nibble on your fingers and eat from...

Hi, new here. I have a 5 high fin black skirt tetras that are showing signs of what I thought was ich. The other fish in the tank are not showing any symptoms. It seems to be small white spots on their tails which made me think ich, but it's more of white blotches on their tails. I have been...
