Hey Guys! 2 years ago #94405

I just found OFL.com, and it's a great site. I've had my oscar for about 6 months, but he died this last week. I had a planaria infestation in my tank that I couldn't get rid of, and he refused to eat and eventually died. I think the new food I bought him had planaria in it because it happened when I changed his food.
Anyway, I cleaned the tank out, boiled everything (including the gravel) and got a new baby oscar and a baby pleco. I miss my old oscar, but this new one is so tiny and cute and I'm so excited to see him grow and get big the way my old one did. I even splurged at the pet store today and bought him frozen bloodworms, shrimp, and vegetable diet, for when he starts to get a little bigger. My last oscar just got pellets, so this one is lucky!

Hi JennyT and welcome to OFL!

Did you cycle your tank first?

I have never done a "fishless" cycle. From what I have read it's faster and easier to cycle by putting your fish in the tank so that is what I have always done. Never given me a problem. I do add Biozyme every day for the first week, though. That gets bacteria levels up.

This was my old oscar, Gus, when I first got him.

Ah, sorry about you losing your albino Oscar; RIP.
Your new tiger Oscar looks like he will have nice colors when he bigger. Its exciting to watch them grow.

Yes, I was so excited to see him at Petsmart today. I wanted a tiger, but their tiger tank only had one in it and it looked sick. So I was looking at the albino's and I saw him and I was like "I just HAVE to have him!" LOL

I think my new baby is a cross between an albino and a tiger because his belly is lighter and his top is darker. I don't know. He is pretty, though!
