Welcome to the site

Okay, you ask if anything is wrong? Well, yes, everything is wrong with your situation. 15 gallons is big enough for a few community fish, certainly not the amount of creatures you have got. Firstly, you shouldn't be keeping turtles with your fish. If you're going to keep turtles, keep them on their own with a tank that is properly set up for them.

To cut a long story short, you need a tank well over 100 gallons. If you cannot get a new tank very soon, I would re-home all of your fish now, you can't keep any of them, maybe the angelfish if it is not very big, but these can get big themselves.

Hope that helps

i agree with the boss. your tank is not big enough for any of the fish you listed solo. if you plan on keeping your current stock list than i would suggest a tank in the 600 liter size and adequate filtration for it. i would also rehome the turtles into there own tank and not keep them with fish.


just my 2 cents.

and you are wasting your resources......

if you want a happy fish keeping hobby...do it the right way.
read more ideas from here..... good luck

save the 15 gallon tank for the turtles. go buy a real aquarium for the oscars. 55-75 gallons per oscar or more. i have a 55 gallon, and i had 2 oscars i started in a 10 gallon tank. within 3-4 months they were 4-5 inches long and crowding each other, they start fighting, so i get a 55 thinking that would be fine, about 10 months they are each 8-9" long and in 55 gal an feel crowded, they fight each other and one nearly dies, i had to give away to fish store. save yourself the headache and just get a big tank if you plan on keeping big fish. remember, oscars grow well over 14 inches, some reach 17 inches. your just being cruel if you dont take that into consideration.

Yes, it was!
I meant if you 'd put those fish in a 60Liter tank, there's no room left for water!
And i'm no expert, but fish seem to need some water to survive..

HOW MANY GALLON
