Hey Everyone

A sad day in my flat, my bigger 'O' has died, he stopped eating about 2 weeks ago, this morning he was no more. I can't bring myself to buy another knowing the LFS in my area sell low quality 'O's. I was wondering if it would be ok to put my 5" JD in the 55 gal along with 1 'O' 4"....2 dwarf channa....1 whip (small), 1 pleco (small) and a rescue firemouth, all fish get along, water parameters are excellent.


gutted!

So sorry for your loss... But i have to say that sounds like a lot of fish for a 55. I would say you are overstocked already!

sorry to hear about your oscar.

as for putting a jack in with the remaining oscars and mates in such a small tank i really wouldnt recommend it. a 55 is basically jsut big enough for one oscar with no mates and you have 4 in there with him now. unless you plan on upgrading with in the next month i would say you are seriously overstocked now and adding a jack will only increase aggression and maintenance to keep your water in good form.

So sorry about your oscar

If I were you, I'll be thinking about upgrading the tank rather than adding another fish, specially a JD.

Thanks for the kind words. The 125 gal comes in february, when i removed the O a lot of clear thick mucus came out of his mouth , any ideas?
