hey guys .. wow its been awhile since i have been on here a lot has changed..
well as some of u might know i had 3 oscars now only have 2..
the older 1 oscar ( he is just over 1y now) has started thie very weird behaviour.. now i get the whole pulling the plants out and air filter bit over the last 2 weeks he has been going nuts at the heater trying to move it
now i am worried that he might burn him self or smash it..
i have tryed to cover it so he cant get to it but he just some how manages to still get to it.. is there any thing i can do??
any help would be great
thanks

get a heater guard

i keep my heater next to a bubble wall that i have on the ends of the tank and well i have had only to restick it to the glass when they ahve feeders or well they get in the mood of a game of chase lol but if your heater temp is not real high and he is not like clinging on it should not worry too much with the burns, try just distracting him when he gets into that mood you might look to see if he is attacking it when the lil indicator light is on and if so see if you can hide that from him.

lol i havent seen an indicator light on a heater in any of my tanks since march lol... damn warm ass texas weather. i swear i can unplug it entirely and still get over 80 on my thermometer.

Heaters may keep your tank to a nice temperature but they are on or off. When on they are hot enough to burn fish
