i sugget not doing water changes going throught the cycle. i have a 1 inch tiger oscar that made it through the cycle no problems just feed little amounts!
@xDAVMANx Thanks for the advice. I just picked up a 55g tank and am now setting it up. This fish actually died. I constantly check the water and the ammonia was low (under .25). I was doing 15-20% WC's everyday to try and keep it down for him while the tank was cycling and he still wound up getting cloudy eye and then dying. Should I cycle the new tank with other fish first, or would a baby oscar be fine in a 55g to cycle it?
@MTX450 you dont need to cycle a tank if you have water from a established tank already just pour a cup or 2 of the water into the new tank and it will be fine
What are u on about ? A bacterial cycle dies take weeks you div !
Go get your facts right

FYI
1 oscars can get 12-15 inches in about 1 year.
2. a properly cycled tank should have 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, and ideally <25ppm nitrate.

He's cute. Thats a good plan that you will upgrade. Your oscar and Jackdempsey will outgrow your tank. lol
When your oscar gets older, they will have a similar to behavior of dogs. lol

Kool oscar but if you going to get a J.D. Then invest in at least a 55g tank ,since the Oscar alone needs a 55g .. Good luck.

There is no beneficial bacteria in aquarium water.
The water will make no difference.
And you shouldnt cycle the fish tank with fish, you done this with your oscar and it died because of it but your going to do it again.
Fishless cycle it.
Takes about 6 weeks but its worth it.
