I have two oscars which are about 5 months old. One of them has now started to get a bit of a funny looking mouth. The bottom lip is slightly out of line with the top lip if you see what i mean. like he has a broken jaw?? There are no visible signs of an attack from the other oscar but they...

Thanks for your advice, silver dollors are a reasonable choice, quite nice looking as well. What about some large barbs? As far as large bottom dwellers go, dould you give me a few examples so i can look up and read about them before making a decision. Thanks

they are about 5 inches now. only 4-5 months old. I have 2 which is all that will be going in the new tank apart from a few plecs. would it be possible to put a similar sized jack dempsey in with themas well?

Gonna get a new tank soon for my oscars. What is the best dimensions for them. Is it better to have a long slim tank or a shorter one with more depth. currently looking at a rena aqualife classic 200 which is over 6ft long but only 19inchs from front to back. would it be better to go for...

Im just about to move my two oscars into a 700 litre (185g) tank. If you cant afford to go for a big tank let somebody else have them. cant be much fun for two oscars in anything less than that when they are fully grown.

Thanks for the replies, still not completely sure what to do yet, the tank will be in the living room so a bright active tank would be nice. I have got quite attatched to the oscars though and dont like the thought of giving them to a pet shop only to be shut up in a really small tank for ages...

Getting a new tank soon and it will be either a 5ft or 6ft somewhere aroung 130-150uk G. This means i could keep the two oscars that i have at the moment who are about 4 inches and growing quite quickly. But is having just two oscars going to be boring in the long run, should i just rehome the...

just looked at a link given by somebody on here, www.meraquatica.co.uk. the 6x2x2 seems a good deal and as said i notice they sell on ebay and looks like i could pick this up for circa £400. How much roughly is it gonna cost me for all the lighting filtration etc etc. thanks chris

I currently have a rio 120, but am moving into my own house soon so will be getting a bigger tank. Originally i wanted to keep oscars but seeing as 2 will need a 150g tank i think its more or less out of the question. So i need a nice tank about 400L 5ft? with stand, the only ones that catch...

I already have two clown loach and two silver sharks. not quite sure what else to put in there yet?

Well as the title says this is my new tank, i am a newbie here as well. Hoping to add more plants and wood. Its a rio125
