[ManCichlid]

Yeah I posted a vid of my baby Oscar in my 55, kewl fish btw.

[daleanderin1]

oscars are defo the best fish for character. thats a lucky one you got there, hes got good room in there, most people over crowd a tank and dont realise just how big these predators get. nice!

[awinski999]

[stewartday58]

[keithj222]

whats CYCLE?

[cichlidkeeper89]

a cycle is basically your tank building bacteria. without that bacteria, the ammonia would skyrocket. wat u do, is u let a tank sit fishless and constantly do water tests and watch the ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. when they are all at steady levels, u add fish.

@cichlidkeeper89

You still need a source of ammonia to start the cycle. This can be achieved by adding pure ammonia over the course of the cycle or by adding a few hardy fish to kick off the process.

[cichlidkeeper89]

@lukebaldan yea, i kno. im just not a fan a adding fish to start the cycle.

[monkeyboyee1]

[dogchain65]

what r u feeding him on and how old is he

[whothq18]

sweet oscar.

[agelow]

55 gallon by himself is fine. just make sure ur doing ur 15-20% water changes a week. Check your water quality as well using a tset kit..

u want

ammonia: 0

nitrites: 0

nitrates: <40

ph : 6 - 8

Also scoop out any uneaten food. Oscars are really messy fish. Mine spits his food out all over the tank.

[whothq18]

i think all test should pass as 0 . even nitrates, well mine do.

[kx250f23]

oscar looks great. nice tank too. :)

[00Warlock19]

he seems fine feed him on a steady diet of tetra doromin and a few prawns or river shrimp,

[00Warlock19]
