Put some Seachem Phosguard in your filter ( i put mine under the fine fleece and use more than Seachem state to use) and it's bye bye diatoms (brown algae).

Really like your tiger (i'm not fond of red Oscars). My two are OK for now, they have their moments but generally they seem to put up with each other. I'm in the process of getting a larger tank. I'm building my own stand as i don't like those available to purchase and i am a joiner by trade...

Thanks for the info. Mine are eager to eat and i feed them twice a day, freshwater prawns, Hikari pellets/Fluval Insect Bites and peas. They seem content at the moment (they're around 6inches at the moment and growing fast). I'm in the South East and two of the main dealers here have 'wild...

I agree, they are 'probably not' actual 'wild caught' Oscars but that is what the Oscars similarly marked are sold as here in the UK. Interested to know what your thoughts are on correct tank size for Oscars also any thoughts on feeding and, well, anything else Oscar related as i appreciate your...

Nice pair of Oscars. Have you any recent pics? I have recently bought two tigers myself and am really enjoying them. Stunning fish if you ask me. I've kept various other fish in the past but these are two of my favourites for sure. I think the fish you have with the more tiger like patern is a...

Why is it that you think the two will grow at different rates and not the dozen? I'd have thought it easier to control the food intake with two? There is a guy on YouTube 'the Do It Yourself King' or something like that. he has a tank of 6 feet with 6 Oscars and a Pufferfish all seemingly doing...

How are you getting on with the Oscars? I've read through your thread as i have just purchased two same kinda size as you did and same scenario (but mine are still small) and they had their first fight.
