hi all
bought a pair or tiger oscars today they are of 7 inchs , they seem to be scared of my remaing fishes i already have 2 parrot fish 5inch, 1 silver arowana 18 inch, my parrots bully the oscars bit as they are new to the tank, i want to ask how much time do my oscars need to fully settle in my tank

How big is the tank?

 

[Nikhil b]

200lts

 

[danotaylor]

200 liters? What are the tank dimensions?

If I am correct on my thoughts from the US spectrum, you tank is probably no more than 4’ or 120cm long. If that is the case you’re going to have constant problems as the tank is WAY too small for the current occupants you have.
Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but that’s the simple truth of the matter
How does your 18” arowana even turn around?

Its basically a 55. Has to be a Bot. also his name looks familiar

 

[esoxlucius]

This new member doesn't strike me as a bot, which means this situation is real and not something that's happening in cyber land.

The sad truth is N Nikhil b your tank is way too small for just your arowana and parrots, nevermind the two big oscars you've just introduced today.

I urge you to either get a tank upgrade, or thin out your stock.
