Pigeon blood red oscars!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
8.6-9 on average lol
I have a question are there oscar hybrids that are like flowerhons and parrot cichlids???

Only info I ever read said they don't hybridize. Oscars have lots of color morphs. If I had another big tank I'd be chasing a lemon or chili red!

Oh well...my Brick is a "Cherry Bomb" Oscar. ?
 
PH Steady at 7.8. Tds 150 to 250

City draws it water from three wells into a limestone aquifer. Our high rain amounts keeps the system feed.
I’m over here sitting on 7.6 so I feel your pain Jexnell.

I have the same problem pH is 8.5+ regularly. Gh and kh at 12 and 14. Never tested tds lost my tester in the move.
I saw a beautiful tiger Oscar I'd have loved to bring home. Don't shoot me he was a long fin varity. Really nice long fins seemed at ease with himself too, not " floundering" like some lf that weren't designed to be lf.
 
I'd contact the seller and find out what water parameters they're used to. I'm sure they'd have no problem giving out that info. My oscar was raised to 2" in lower ph water but has done fine with the water at my location ( 7.6 -7.8 ).

As long as the water is clean it shouldn't be a problem. But if the water isn't clean that when you get stuff like hlle easier at higher ph values. But I like to err on the side of caution I don't want something that used to or comes from 6ph to needing to cope with super hard high pH. I'm sure it's stressful in some aspect. May cut longevity, I don't know for sure.
