Oscar Fish Care Guide
This is my oscar Fish tank Care Guide. Oscars are awesome aquarium fish. I highly advise you keep your fish well fed. My favorite food is the hikari staple diet.
Added Fish Tank Talk:
This is for you live plant folks. need some help here. this is what my tank looks like but I wanna go with a more natural look is there any tips of ideas I’d like to not have to go with co2 an all that I got 3 kids so not a lot of money to go an get special lighting and co2 an that stuff. It’s a 100 gallon 5ft long tank. It’s gonna be a sand bottom btw pool filter sand.
Tie some Anubias to the driftwood. Since you don’t have to get them all at once, they’re not going to be very expensive one or two at a time. As for the grassy areas, I haven’t had much luck with ground covers in my tank, but that’s because I’m horrible at dosing ferts regularly, and I’m impatient. I would just unroll Marimo moss balls and attach them to some slate like this.
I have 3- 30w 6500k led flood lights $25ea on amazon. They grow plants real good… Outside a CO2 youll jist need a steady cocktail of the various liquids (im sure people in here can point you to which work beat). Moss and anubis i call the For Dummies plants bc they grow and are hard to kill. Perfect when u have kids to take care of before our hobby lol.
I’ll be moving from current gravel, to sand in my new tank.. Are there any rules to be followed for depth of sand?? Or does depth relate to personal preference and species kept?? I’ve never used sand so any advice is gratefully received!!
I wanted to introduce a special snail to you guys:
RED RACER Nerite Snails…vittina waigiensis….are some of the rarest snails, and as a matter of fact, among some of the rarest aquatic creatures in the world. They each are tri-colored and uniquely patterned. Not the typical Nerite snails you see around. They get gathered in rivers leading to the pacific ocean in some of the most rural and out of way places in far east.
They breed only in brackish waters and not in captivity. That makes them incredibly popular and pleasing to the eyes and in photography of our tanks as well as lovely with plants and tank mates like shrimps. Even their eggs are tiny and hardly noticeable and come off with slightest brush of the net. They adapt well to Neo tanks, as they have the same parameters and require higher levels of TDS of around 300 ppm.
These snails come around once every decade or so, with some weather patterns and never stay around long.
I was fortunate enough to get connected with a diver who introduced them to us this time around and managed to get a group to America.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about them, please PM me.
It is okay…when they reproduce, they have to get disbursed, or the over population will destroy them eventually or they become food for birds. The process is actually quite nice and helps them to spread out in other areas and multiply 🙂
How do you think all these fishes and shrimps and all those magnificent sting rays and millions of species in our tank get to our tanks 🙂 someone has to bring them from wild, at some point.
So correct me if im wrong, but male and female WILD bettas can go together but betta splendens cant? (im obviously not putting males and females together, i dont even own females im just curious). Yea like you cant go to petco/petland/petsmart/etc and just buy wild types, at least not that ive heard of. So if you bought them at a petstore keep them separated. Wild betta aren’t much different than the ones at the store, and being wild, they’re likely to be even more aggressive, so I wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. Not ALL wild species can cohabitate, but a good few are capable.
My smaragdina and mahachaiensis got along wonderfully, though I had issues with my smaragdina male mating with the same female again even while he had young fry in his nest.
Guess you missed the part where he stated they TOLD him to move it to the “clean” section of the office so they could continue. After moving the tank to a side of the office already done, why would someone intentionally decide to go clean the tank in an area that’s supposed to be complete? This is NOT the mans’ fault at all. Sitting here and blaming him is absolutely ridiculous. *sigh* at this point I guess the best you can do is make it a teaching moment for the cleaning company. Perhaps they can come up with staff guidelines for their employees in the hopes this doesn’t happen again.
They would 100% be buying me a new tank and everything that was in it!!, they asked you to move it so they could clean behind it, not clean it, I would deff have them replace everything. I would complain to the company…it’s a major risk for your fish to reuse those items since you don’t know what cleaner was used. They should provide funds to replace the equipment.
