    Oscar Aggression

    I have a 5 in or so Oscar, I posted about him a few weeks ago when he had larger tankmates huddling in the corner. I got him a 90-gallon tank to get him out of the 55 gallon. I also decided that I wanted to try him out with a bigger tank mate in it. So, I choose a gold severum that I've had for...

    How to indroduce new fish to established cichlid tank?

    I have a large tank, 350gal or so (not exact) and I want to add new fish to it, the problem is, there's a jag cichlid in there. How would I add more fish to the tank? Also, are adding more cichlids possible? I'm considering a carpintis/texas hybrid.
