left it over night and just retested

Ammonia 0

Nitrates 0

Nitrates 10-20

pH still around 8

Interested in opinions ? Yes the tank is cycled or No not yet

I plan to put 2 Firemouths in should I do it before /same time or after the Oscars have gone in ???
Still looking for the 2nd O
I was wondering if I find the FM's while looking should I get them yet ????

I'll keep check on your responses on my phone Goin Oscar hunting wish me luck

Cheers Gaz

I guess the figures don't lie!
Maybe i'd check for another day or 2 to be sure it says that way, but that's just me.
did you see any fish that you may want allready?
I fell in love with my first O, some days before i rehomed the otherr occupants of the tank.
Best moment in my fishkeeping carreer, buying my first Oscar.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

Took another test this afternoon and still the same

So I added another 4 ml ammonia 2hrs later ammonia .25

I'll recheck all param's in the morning

Noddy I did see a pink oscar that would work ,size etc but I walked away in search of a tiger Lantino (what I had started out for )

found one too BIG then another nice coloring size but WHAT's that crap on it's eyes like white fungus /skin/film walked away

This pink one has caught my attention

I'll await the test results in the morning if good might have me a Pinky to go with my Tiger tomorrow More a peach color but crappy lights @ the lfs so who knows lol
