Many have helped me with the temperature for my O's and Plecos.

Did raise my temp. to 85 due to ich and velvet.
My O's started to act normal, started eating again, etc.

Some suggested that 85 was too high for both O's and Pleco.
I became concerned and lowered the temperature a little bit.
Now, both O's are acting sick again.
Nemo is convulsing again to the point of banging out of his control against the glass and Woofy is scratching himself like crazy on the rocks.

Can't they just stay at 85 degrees where they all seem to be doing well, yes, even the Plecos. They are getting great amount of oxygen and simply LOVE the heat.

Thanks for the input!

I keep my fish at 80f are mixing 80f with 80c? 80c will cook the fish.

80f which is i believe 30c

i rum my Oscar tank 74 degrees with no additional heater.

my tank was up at 88f when i had ich
i also have two o's and a pleco......they did fine for about 10 days until ich was gone
now my tank stays at 80-82f all the time

There has got to be something wrong with the water...

thank you so much. that makes me feel much better.

no, all levels are really good. the ammonia tends to still go up to .25. they had recovered from a tank that was 4.0 when i became really ill and could not care for them. i felt horrible that this happened to them which is what triggered their problems to begin with.

If they are still freaking out and crashing make sure that there are no sharp items in the tank.

thanks. no, they just start scratching on the rocks and crashing when the water temp starts to drop. weird huh? i guess i got some hot oscars!

As long as your water tests are ok i would lower the temp and leave it for a couple of days and hopefully your fish will settle down

did you give them any meds like coppersafe? i did. mine are not eating. just laying at bottom of tank. on occassion they are swimming but no interest in food. i also put prime and some salt for their fins. thanks!
