hello to everyone.im dan an im new to this forum an new to the internet an computers so my typing might be a bit naff.im 27 an have been keeping fish for five years now. ive got a large mbuna tank an another tank with two big oscars ive now had for just over two years.i need to get a bigger tank for them now because they are monsters. how do you guys go about decorating your oscar tanks? an what do you feed them? im feeding mine on prawns an pellets an occassionaly bloodworm. i want to try an make the new tank as close as there natural habitat as possible.

What do you want your tank to look like? If you want to emulate a flooded rainforest then you want lots of wood and maybe some rock and a darkish substrate. Inland waterways will contain many more plants than a flooded rainforest. The Amazon is absolutely vast. There are simply Thousands of tributaries that no doubt look different to Other waterways. It can be a nightmare choosing a theme. personally, I've gone for lots of wood and rock with no live plants, too much hassle.

as for decorating an oscar tank i have mine done with driftwood and rocks sand substrate and fake plants(to much hassle to keep real ones imo).


as for what to feed try adding some beefhearts and earthworms to the mix.

yeah i have a few bits of drifwood in my current tank already so ill prob use that. do they like alot of shelter like mbuna do? what sort of dark substrate would you recomend? i think ill try some earthworms but i might give the beef heart a miss it sounds minging.mine seem to fight occassionaly aswell so i wonder if ive got two males in there.i might be sounding thick here but are guys an american site cause when i sent my message last night at half nine im sure it said half one on here?
