hello to everybody.this is yash from india.got my baby red O 2 days ago.he's in a 32gal rt now wit a baby severum and baby major sergeant(dunno exactly what species!!)

tested water at lfs..parameters acceptable..i call my 3 boys the three amigos!! lol

welcome aboard to happy fish keeping.... i dont want to bring you bad news
but 32 gal tank is too small for the stock you have right now. any idea what
filtration are you using with your tank? i suggest you have to upgrade your
tank if you want to keep for long your present fishes.

yes i am having a internal filter as well as a top filter running with a 300W heater.i know the tank would be small but right they are just babies.an adult oscar needs a 55gal for sure.but my red O is just a baby now.after 3 months definately upgrade him to a 56 gallon while severum and major stays in there 32 gal itself..

or if you say that i need to cut down with my stock i can keep baby O in a 32 by itself and after 3 months in a 56 gallon..

well..that sound a good plan to me... then you can keep them for
while in that small tank... just make sure to keep an eye on the
water parameter...

so should i keep the baby O alone in the 32??

you can keep them for a while until such time that there will be a lot
of bullying. if that happens, you must be prepare for re-homing the others
or a bigger tank soonest...

so should i keep the baby O alone in the 32??
and 3 months is ok?? right?? or upto what size shall i let him grow in the 32 gallon??

ohkk...thanks a lot paul...hey i've got a question the lfs guy had this baby O with a 3 inch inch oscar.mabbe bigger.so the baby was kinda bullied and his lower fin is slightly parted from between.its not bitten but it is parted.like TORN..did u get it?? its nothing to worry about right?

giving your fish/es a pristine water, any injury they have, would heal
in no time.... but if you can not keep the water in tip top condition,
any or all injury will develop into further complication

uh hmm...got it man..thanks.hey im feeding baby wit blood wrms,color pellets,shrimps(fd)...what i have observed is that he comes at the glass...greets me n all bu when he tries to fetch the food,instead of sucking the food in his mouth he bumps his head on the food instead...i hope he does not have any eye disability ! ! his eye seems fine btw.no white colored covering and all..his eye color is red..that means he is a albino red oscar right??

there are times o just hit the food but does not grab it...
as long as he/she grabs foods and swallow it in some occasion,
it will be fine...

having red eyes means lutino strain.... albino is very rare and
i haven't seen one....the most common albino in the lfs are mostly
lutino....

can you post pic of your o...please... we love pictures...
