My Rescued Oscar

[AquaNut]

Here he is... ANYthing you can tell me about him or his injuries/overall condition would be totally appreciated. For some history on him, check the threads in the New World Cichlids forum.

 

[AquaNut]

Again..

 

[AquaNut]

Sorry the pics are so bad.. I was in a hurry to get some posted so somebody could tell me more about him...

 

[AquaNut]

One more... poor guy

 

[AquaNut]

Here's the CAE who's in his tank ...

 

[freshmike]

Over all he looks pretty good...just few minor scrapes from what I can see....I think with some rest and relaxation along with the melafix you have in there and good food he will be just fine!!! Hope he is at about 78-80 degree too...he will like that! Good for you Aquanut!!!!!


Edit: I only saw the first 2 pics when I posted.....looks as though he has been a little sucked on....I would try to convince him to eat that CAE if I were you.
I still think he will be fine in your more exerienced hands!!! Care means alot.

 

[AquaNut]

Yayyyyy!!! I'm very happy to hear that he looks pretty good! He seriously seems happier already. I can't believe they didn't have a heater. I swear I think he knows I'm going to take care of him.

 

[freshmike]

What temp do you figure the tank was before?

 

[AquaNut]

Yeah.. maybe the CAE can stay in the 20 gallon with the other CAE and the tiger barbs who are moving into it when Oscar moves into paradise err.. I mean a bigger tank. I think I've heard that CAEs don't like each other, though. I dunno where this CAE is going to go. He's pretty big.

 

[AquaNut]

I saw what the tank was at before!! It said it was 69 degrees!!!!!!!!

 

[freshmike]

poor little guy was freezing in his pants!!!! I seriously think you should tell Chester to eat that darn CAE for supper!!! Late supper that it is!

 

[AquaNut]

His name is Chester?!? lol

 

[freshmike]

That's what he told me his name was. He said "hello, my name is Chester. How'd you do?"

 

[AquaNut]

Funny... he told me his name's Bertuzzi.

 

[freshmike]

Maybe he is a secret agent and doesn't really have a real name!!!


Na! that can't be it....his name is really Chester. I can feel it!
