    probably, but like humans they come in different sizes it will also be dependent on breeding genetics an oscar can reach up to 12" and at its age should be bigger fish with oversized internal organs usually have an oversized abdomen

    when i first started there weren't the test kits around as much and my dad had kept fish as well i find your fish can tell you what is going on in the tank fish at the surface can mean not enough surface agitation, and polluted water sitting on the bottom, can mean their cold clamped fins water parameters out of whack\ there are other things that can cause these symptoms as well generally speaking if there is a problem i do a water change first
  21. livingart
    stop the frustration put another 4 fish in keep up the water changes wait another week then put in some more fish keep up the water changes observe fish at least daily any abnormal activity or look to the fish do a water change sit back and enjoy your tank i have an aqua one 980 set up from scratch, overstocked to the max as had no where else to house the fish fish were in an outside pond that heating failed on just water changes have kept it running
  22. livingart
    do you have any fish in there yet?
  23. livingart
    so long as they have some where to "dig in" they should be ok in auckland area turt keepers in your area will have a better idea
  24. livingart
