its an 80litre tank, i know abit on the small side. Im in the process of getting a larger one for him, but the previous owner could no longer look after him so ive had to do my best.

i caught a fly for my oscar and my 3 year old niece and i watched it get gobbled up. She found it hilarious. Couldnt wait to tell her parents

Ive been giving my oscar tiger fish lamb kidney once or twice a week. He seems to love it.

Just abit of an update... Ive had a few more fatalities/losses. But i think ive got things mostly sorted now. I was given an oscar tiger fish which was desperate for a new home. Hes in abit of a small tank at the moment, but im on the look out for a larger tank. Im also wanting to start breeding my minnows and leopards so ill be trying to get the tank set up for that. Next things on the list are more plants and some snails. (prefer snails suitable for oscar tiger fish tank) Plants will be for the cold water tanks and im wanting to turn the tank oscar is in, into a neons and other suitable tropical set up anyway.. enjoy or give me pointers. cheers

a product called tonic. Well i think the poor wee bugger has died. His eyes werent looking that great and i do wonder if he was blind. I had put him in my fish bowl on his own with treated water and im not sure if thats what finished him off Poor lil bugger. Doing the treatment on the 2 tanks now though.

Bought some stuff and treating the water now. fingers crossed. Do they grow their fins back?

Got 1 telescopic eyed goldfish with a white spot and what looks to be fin rot. All of the other fish look to be fine. Ill go down to the supply store tomorrow to see whats available. Been doing regular 20% water changes so im wondering if maybe he was bitten or something. Is this a worry, or fairly common? cheers

water temp in my fresh water tanks has been sitting on about 24 the last few days. Is this a concern? i will need steps in place to cool down if needed. What do people suggest? cheers

will they breed on their own without any special treatment? or do you really need to make a point of getting things right for them?

I want to see the leopard fish! i have got some myself. Very cool.

I see you must have also! ha Yeah id imagine it would turn to weetbix if it got even a hint of water. These tanks are very much a learning exercise. i have ideas of what id like to do but my life is still chaos so until im settled ill just have to make do.

yeah, i stood on it first lol. I was abit iffy. Not as iffy as i was picking the damn thing off the cds and putting it up there. dont recommend that.

do you really think its an issue? i wouldve thought 1" of glass overhang wouldve been alright. Im no expert though.

yep, i realise that 60litres of water =60kgs, plus weight of stones, plants, fish, glass etc. Safe as chch houses bro.
