My 2 Oscars are 2 and a half years old and sometimes they get along and sometimes they don't. Just recently, I took everything out of the tank to clean it and my two Oscars started digging a hole in the substrate, sand. I have tried venting these fish but couldn't tell if the holes were the same...

Two and a half year old 9-in tiger Oscar $30 to someone that has at least a 75 gallon tank that is cycled. I live right outside Birmingham, Alabama in the US. My Tiger Oscar will be the tank boss and really needs to be by himself. Big Mama is very healthy and very interactive with her humans and...

My 2 Oscars have been eating Omega One Small Cichlid pellets since I got them. The other day I ran out so I ordered some on Amazon, but after ordering I realized it's gonna be a while until they come. I ordered one on PetSmart so I looked up Omega One Small Cichlid pellets and they had this huge...

I know this is a crazy question, so let me start out at the beginning. I've had my 75 gallon tank about 2 years with 2 Oscars, 3 fire mouth cichlids, a pictus catfish, 1 peacock cichlid and my pleco. Yes I know I should have a bigger tank for my inhabitants but they're all very healthy and happy...

I have 2 Oscar's that normally have a voracious appetite, they are Oscars after all. They have been showing signs of breeding lately and I noticed they get full really fast. I gave them each a grasshopper and they ate them with gusto but when I tried to feed them another they wouldn't eat it...

There's 7 other smaller fish in the tank (1 pictis catfish, 1 baby bristlenose pleco, 3 firemouth cichlids and 2 peacock cichlids) and 2 Oscars. It's a 75 gallon tank. I've always wondered what sex my Oscars were and assumed my Tiger Oscar was female and my red Oscar was male. I did notice when...

So I've had my Oscars for 16 months now and they've gotten pretty big. One has always been bossier then the other, but the last two days they've been acting strange and tail flicking each other and getting more aggressive. I vacuumed out the tank today and put the three rocks together that big...

How many people notice your cichlids playing in the bubbles when you pour fresh water in your tank? My cichlids love going through the bubbles when I'm refilling my tank pouring water in. It's so funny.

I have a 3 gallon tank that I was using as an extra tank. I had 1 African dwarf frog and 2 nerite snails in it and I bought another Pleco (after my Oscar ate my last one because you can only buy them as babies and I don't want one that gets to be 2 feet long so I bought a baby bristlenose pleco)...

Cool, I'll leave it alone. I also have another question. All of a sudden my PH has dropped from a steady 7.8 to a steady 6.8. Could it be the stirring of the gravel releasing the CO2 because nothing else has changed and it still stays at 6.8 after water changes. My pH has always been 7.8 up...

Yeah but I think my Oscar's would eat them as a snack. Yeah my substrate is about 2 inches. Should I just leave the bubbles and not stir it up? Is the bubbles good for my plants? I don't have many plants because my Oscar's don't like them but I have a couple they've left a lone

I've got a sunshine peacock cichlid that likes moving around the sand to make mating pits (and to hide the 1 baby he's already had from my Oscar's) so when I vacuum out the gravel (sand) I will usually try to put the sand back where it belongs and level it out, but here lately when I move the...

Last time I had to catch some of my cichlids to sell them it took taking everything out of the tank, lowering the water down to the bottom, and putting the top of the tank as a divider and chasing them for 2 hours and they were big enough to see. I'm worried if I take everything out of the tank...

I almost got rid of my OB Peacock and my Sunshine Cichlid because the Sunshine Cichlid was chasing my other peacock's wanting to mate and stressed my other peacock till she died. He started in on my OB Peacock after the other one died and I noticed my OB was shaking his head stressing from the...

So I know I wrote this a while ago but still haven't vented them. They just had a baby though. I only see one baby about a half inch long and the yellow blue one stays by the baby. So 1 is definitely a female and one is definitely a male just don't know which yet. I'm shocked my Oscars haven't...
