[wonna]

what are you water parameters ?

[madtat]

wat do u mean by that temp and stuff?

i think it my be over feeding cuz i put in 5 pellets and one of the black oscars got heaps since the white ones suck at stricking food

[wonna]

by that i mean : ammonia , nitrite , nitrate


also your tank is over stocked, with 4x 10cm crapping machines ooops i mean oscars plus more there is going to be a hefty bioload on the tank

when was the last time you did a water change?

[madtat]

u better make that 3

and its not over stocked there is plenty of space and so far hardly any agression
last water chage was wen i set the tank up 5 days ago

Did you cycle your tank before you but the fish in mate??

[madtat]

maybe not now. but later on whe your oscars put on some size you will run into some trouble



so do you have a test kit?, im guessing the tank is still cycling

Hi Mark,

If it is not too late, do a 30-50% water change now.

Cheers :wink:

[madtat]

thanks cory fan but it is to late and i figured out y he died
this moreing wen i fed them he got most of the pellots and his belly was swallen wen i took him out of tank

wat i planned to do is get four babys oscars wacht them grow and hopfuly get a pair out of them and sell the other fish  

the other fish in the tank r 3plecos 1 small breeding pair of blue eyed and a baby convict  (origenly as a target fish)

[Cory Fan]

sorry to hear that.

so u left the 2 albino now?

[madtat]

two albino alsome looking fish (compared to the others at the lfs i have seen) and 1 tiger  also good quality
