Any updates, how did it go @Bluephoenix4462 ? I just finished heat treatment for ICK in a display tank and everyone survived. Was a pretty bad case. I'm thinking of adding some Cory's to one of my other tanks so doing some research today, so thanks for your post since it helps others to share...

Phoenix is doing extremely well! He has moved from his hospital tank back to the main display 180 gallon. The other Oscars were picking on him at first and we were quite worried, but today he's eating with the group and seems to be allowed back in the family :) Our ***AMAZING*** LFS here in Cape...

So after just under 4 weeks, Phoenix is back in our main tank with the other Oscars. We have guarded hope because although he is completely recovered and doing amazingly well, the other Oscar's aren't welcoming him back in just yet. A little bit of chasing in the first few hours and he's...

Excited to see how things go. Don't forget to share pictures!

I am not going to add anything to this conversation really other than I love seeing the great advice, and even more so, it is refreshing to see you all care so much not only about the fish, but the new fish keeper! It's these types of interactions that keep me coming back. @Tiggerpal1989 -...

The YouTube videos are freaking awesome! The music is too cute - this is 100% art and life together I love it.

Yeah, the oscar's don't seem to like too much flow - and I do have a lid but it doesnt cover one tiny spot (of course, the spot I need covered). Looks like Dremel and Lexan will be my friends today to make a mini-corner lid.

Your LFS is a great place to start - if they can't take them, ours is great about helping find someone who can. And we joined the local Fish Association/ group - there's ALWAYS someone willing to have a few extra fish! I think between a good LFS, this forum, and a fish association/society, you...

Super excited to see this thread! My husband and I recently added one saltwater tank to our collection of 7 freshwater. I had one years ago and am getting back into it. I love seeing these build threads getting back into the SW side. It seems like a whole lot more work - but really once you're...

Took me a bit to get through this whole thread/post - amazing! I feel like I could sit there for hours and just look through your tank - I have a bunch of tanks (fresh and salt from 5 gallons to 180 gallons) and am still afraid of planted tanks. I cannot keep live normal house plants alive, I am...

Welcome in! The silver dollars can get quite big, I've seen some between 5-7" (12-18cm). I had them a while back in a 75 gallon (280L) and felt they were a bit cramped with just 2 of them and they can grow pretty fast. I'd probably start looking for plans to rehome them so that it doesnt creep...

Our trauma Oscar, Phoenix, is still doing amazingly well! He's eating, color is coming back and extremely happy! As for the 227 system, the tank is thriving, and the 4 Oscars are growing fast. We have completed a 21-day salt + heat ICK treatment (it got pretty bad) and we are now 19 days no ICK...

This is just crazy, FYI. I'm not keen on name changes, but "Jumper" has been renamed Phoenix for most obvious reasons- he's rising back from the ashes! This little fish is doing AMAZING. Energy is back, eating very well and swimming well. I will get some updated pictures but we still have...
