If the water tests okay, do I still need to do partial water changes. 55gal tank, not too crowded

I rased a bunch in a 50 gal. they aren't as long as a 55, but a lot wider, about the same depth. the oscars ( 5 ) got huge

flake food is okay at 1" I used to have 4 full size (8 to 10 inch easy) i fed them seafood table scraps ( i know some of you disagree with this) and frozen smelt filets. they were 3 to 4 inch long, almost an inch diameter and the Oscars gobled them whole frozen. Thats the kind of fish that...

I have 10 perstillas and 18 neons, 3 very sleepy, skitish ID sharks

forgot to mention, 55 gal tank, lots of fake and a few real, plants, 3 very lazy ID sharks.

Can anyone tell me about Rams temperment? I think they are beutiful but wondet about putting them in a tank with small fish (neons and pristellas)

Are Pristellas vicious? Mine seem really aggressive when feeding. I wonder if they are the reason my ID sharks hide all the time.

ID sharks are cool looking fish. I've got 3 in a 55 gal. sad to say they spend most fo the daylight on the bottom ( good work if you can get it) A ten gal is way too small, go for a 55 asap.

I've seen pictures of the several feet long in the wild but close to a foot in a fish tank is rare. Mine are lazy and sleep all day (night creatures) they like to play dead when they are scared, cool to watch swimming, don't seem to bother much smaller fish - neons, small guppies

I have 3 small Iridescent Sharks that sleep or play dead all the time. They are in a 55g tank with 15 neons and 10 prestellas and about 10 guppies. once in a while I see them swimming about, usually at night ( they go nuts when I turn on the tank lights ). What is the problem? also what do I...

sounds like expensive Oscar food

Hi new to forum, new tank, haven't had one for about 20 years. (there weren't forums or PCs then) 55 gal tank I bought a dozen guppies to cycle tank now a LOT of guppies 2 iredesent sharks ( why are so many people down on them? look forward to talking to you folks about this great hobby

QUOTE (Tempestuousfury @ Dec 27 2004, 01:24 PM) No. Iridescent sharks get to over 5' and need to be kept in groups. Barbs will most likely nip the angels' fins, even if in groups. Cichlids would work, though they might need dither fish, which you might not have enough room for. Iridescent...

I can't believe the way you folks bash walmart ( I just buy batteries, underwear, socks - you know junk). Kmart is a hundred times worse. they have better selection than finding stuff on the side of the road, but worse service and prices.

I like Iridescent Sharks too. I've got two, 2 to 3 inches long. I don't expect them to get out of control. I have a new 55 gal tankwith them and guppies. I am worried about them eating the baby guppies though. anyone have experience whit these sharks?

I got an irredecent shark about a week ago, 3" so far. He is cute to watch but too stupid to find food on the surface. New 55gal tank, 12 guppies to start cycle 3 weeks ago, now 10 guppies, 20 babies and shark.

new here. what are otto,, any experience w/ iridescent sharks
