oscar fish

We had an Oscar, an 8" goldfish and a 14" pleco in a 75 gallon tank for about 2 months. In this time we had a very hard time keeping the nitrates low. I didn't want to do a water change every day. (Tank is a few years old and well cycled) Oscars fin got a white fuzzy dime sized patch on it which...

Hi, I have been fish keeping for several years now and I generally only experience with Freshwater fish aka Angelfish and the general tropicals like Molly swordtails etc. but it’s up until about 17months ago I started keeping 2 Oscars and a couple of Silver Dollars in a 100gallon tank and Midas...

Hey all. I created a fake ivy back drop on the outside of my Oscar tank and both of them didn’t like it and started sulking as they do. But a few minutes later they got spooked and my male hasn’t been the same since (this was last night) now I’m seeing him do things his never done like messing...

Noticed these bumps all over my Oscar’s right fin and is now spreading to the body and is all over the head. No other fish in the tank have this issue. Anyone know what this is?

Hello! I want to know the names of these fishes. So, that i can check the compatibility of these fishes with my current aquarium fishes.

So I have a oscar that's around 4-5 inches, I wanna add some tank mates but I've tried in the past but he just ate them. I would like to have a schooling fish maybe like a black skirt tetra or something big enough to fend for their own. Thanks

Anybody know what type of Oscar this is ? The guy I bought it from said it was a bumblebee but I’m not sure

Woke up this morning to check on my Oscar and noticed an oval ring on her side. I honestly have no idea what it is… Tank is 5ftX1.5ftX1.5ft Temp: 27.5°c Ph: 6-6.5 Nitrites and ammonia: 0ppm Nitrates: 25ppm (about to do a water change) Filter: 1800Lp/h other tank inhabitants: Senegal bichir...

I have an 7inch silver arowanas in a tank with some angles to accompany him. I love Oscars so much want to add them too. But both shouldn't fit in each others mouth and also not fight. So what size oscars should i buy?

Hi everyone, I’m not sure what else to do here...I’ve been dealing with Popeye in my Oscar since September. It had gotten better a few times and each time I thought it would heal, it wouldn’t; it actually got progressively worse. I should add that the main problem I am having is that after he...

Hey guys I’ve recently upgraded to an 8ft x 2ft tank for my two oscars and one fire mouth. Currently using two canister filters; 1800L p/h and 2200L p/h. Fine black gravel substrate and planted with blue stricta. I’m wanting a little advice on some stocking ideas. I was thinking a Senegal bichir...

Hi, I’m Karan from Bangalore, India. I have only one 4 inch Oscar in my 3*1.5*2 feet aquarium. It has a maintained temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a filter. From a past few days my fish has stopped accepting any type of food. When I consulted my fish expert he told me the Oscar has sunken...

Hi everyone. First post for me and its a plea for advice! I've just saved a few fish from fish heaven after a friend moved and could no longer have them. Part of the bunch are a giant gourami and a VeIl tailed oscar. They have both been living in a 245 litre tank for the last 18 months, happily...

Hello yet again, I have a friend who's looking to buy an Oscar fish, who's also wondering what the absolute minimum requirements are for one. Until now, I have never done any research nor have I learned anything about Oscar fish, and so I can't help him. Also, the friend's wife doesn't want...

Hello! This'll be my first post on this forum, I'm looking forward to being a part of the community! :)     Now, I am not new to the fish hobby (I know quite a bit, but I'll admit I've got PLENTY of room to grow), but I am new to Oscar fish keeping. I have a little Oscar fish who is the size of...

Okay, so I've been raised around fish tanks for most of my life but I can't seem to get this darn thing right on my own. Took my mom about 3 years to figure out exactly how to set up a tank perfectly for an Oscar Fish. I decided I did not want to kill my fish three times before I asked for help...
