Yep had them for years and still like them, great looking fish

Hi I've got two Tiger stripes amongst my other dollars that are approx 6''. I've tried plants a couple of times ((Java fern and anubias) and both times the plants have been destroyed within a day or two. Hope this helps

Hi This will depend on what sand you have used if it aquarium sand then it should be ok to run the filter as it doesn't take long to settle. If it's playsand that you have used and the tank isn't stocked then I'd let the sand settle overnight if possible, checking that when you do turn it on...

No it's not true that fish will only grow to fit the aquarium that they are in. What tends to happen is that fish will have their growth stunted which will lead to deformities. I personally think that 4 Oscars would ideally be in 6'x2'x2' aquarium.

I wouldn't worry about it with just those two fish in there I would say that the sponge filter that you say is still running should be more than adequate to filter your tank

Vesicularia ferriei 'Weeping Moss' is easy to grow. So I've been told. At least I hope it is as I've just added it to my tank. 🤞

Today I visited Wharf Aquatics to pick up some more Oscars for my main Tank and some Otocinclus for one of my smaller tanks :fish:

You could try breeding neolamprologus brevis, (Shell dwellers) Very easy to breed, you'll soon have a tank full and with the right aquascape it can make a very impressive display.

Hi Guys and thanks for the welcomes. Will post some pics over the weekend :)
