My Tiger Oscar passed away about 3 days ago :( I knew it was coming he was very old he just kept getting one disease after another :(


My girlfriend has been bugging me within the last couple days to get some new fishes...currently I have one 7 inch pleco in a 75 gallon tank. The oscar had minor HITH disease wondering if the pleco will be ok. I cleaned the tank and put new bio bags in the filter. The pleco has no signs of HITH. Should I do any water treatments other than changing the water every few days?

Heres my next Q: Harlequin Rasboras I've heard are an excellent little schooler. i was wondering their life expectancy and if the pleco would bother them or they would bother him. Lastly for the blood parrots, could i put a solo one with the rasboras and pleco? I will prolly wait two weeks before getting new fish should i completely change the water to get rid of the HITH?
 
My girlfriend thought Oscars are the dumbest fish to have....thats why i cant get another one :(

He was 11 years old and over a foot long.

He only had the pleco with him....another reason my girlfriend didnt like the oscar she wanted more than 2 fish.

My tank bottom was small gravel about an inch thick, had a few large rocks, no live plants only fake ones....my oscar kept trashing my plants lol.
 
Sorry to hear about ur Oscar, they are amazing creatures. If you would like non-Cichlids, I would get a huge school of Tiger Barbs or maybe some Silver Dollars. Or what about some Clown Loaches and some kind of oddball? Knife Fish? Another possibility would some angels, tho those are Cichlids :thumbs:
