oscar

Does anyone know of anything that can cause sunken in eyes on an Oscar? Or possibly everything is slightly swollen around them? I’ve been gone for two days and got a call that he was laying at the bottom of the tank and has a large spot that looks like hole in head, but with black around the...

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...

I have an Oscar named Donut, my wife names all the fish after food items, and he is about 6 inches now. When I first got him at 2 inches he was a peaceful little guy and was an angel with his tank mates. When the time came to upgrade him to a bigger tank with the big boys at around 4-5 inches...

I have a ~10 inch Oscar (6yrs old) that has been in excellent health forever. Over the past few weeks he has gradually become more lethargic and in the past week he has stopped eating any food and barely moves. I do weekly water changes of ~25% and have not changed anything in the aquarium. He...

Just picked up two Oscar’s yesterday and this one was so sad looking that I felt like he needed to be rescued. I am thinking he has fin rot and possibly some sort of fungal infection? What’s the best treatment? I dosed Melafix today but I want to make sure I go with the most effective method...

I've had this tank for ~4yrs, my oscar (Blaze) has been the sole occupant until recently. The Red Parrot has been with us for about a week. Surprisingly enough, after some chasing, my oscar has accepted him into the pack 😊. Yes, I know it might get cramped, despite what I promised my wife I'll...

What should I do guys? My ~8yo Oscar fish seems to have some type of swim bladder issue? I tried treating the tank with aquarium salt and metro and there's really no improvement. Any suggestions? I fear his days are limited at this point... I can't attach a video but he essentially just swims...

Considering selling my 240 gallon 8x2x2 glass tank. Want as little hassle as possible Tank is holding water and has been for over 10 years. You may want to re seal it after transport. But the date in the photo is to confirm date with water inside the tank. before tank is sold I will need to...

I have a 55 gallon tank with two ~8 month old Oscars in it. The albino is about 3 inches long and the black one about 5 inches. About a week ago the black Oscar stopped eating entirely, which is unusual due to his typical voracious appetite. Yesterday I noticed him floating at the top of the...

Hello all. Figured I would post here too. I have had a 75 gallon tank set up for the last year with my 10” Oscar and convict without issue. Just rescued a few year old Oscar that’s only 7” long, stunted growth from previous owner. The two Oscar’s get along fine but decided I need to upgrade to a...

I have one large Oscar in a 125 gallon, 6ft. long tank. The Oscar is about a foot long. The tank is very open. I don't have substrate, just a couple of medium-sized decorations placed in the center, against the back of the tank. We've considered adding another fish, but I'm hesitant because this...

Our beautiful girl needs a bigger home. I would like to find someone interested in enjoying her as we have. We are in south Carolina and are willing to deliver within our area. Also if we could follow her as she grows would be great. ( maybe some pictures or video)🙂 but ofcourse not required.
