So,
From my last post to now. I had started fish in cycle with Danio's. I was quickly convinced to go fishless. Returned the Danios, got Dr Tim's ammonia, Seachem Prime and Stability and was off!!
Got my tank cycled, YAY.
Got my new Oscar in the mail, fretted like a new dad waiting for it.
Its been ~24hrs now and I'm a little concerned.
He's about 1.5 inches.
He looks fine, no marks, dmg, etc, colors good.
Fins are up.
He went from black headed to grayish/greenish and hid when I did a small water change so he is already proving to be a baby (he's back to black (red oscar).
He's eating when I offer (Sinking Cichlid Gold minis) one a time until he stops coming up for them.
Problem is he glass surfs quite a bit.
Started the first 15 min after putting him in.
He's not rubbing, sometimes its slow side to side.
He does stop occasionally, esp if I put my finger up the glass, he'll follow it.
Thought maybe were he came from they used plastic bins and isn't used to his reflection (seems like almost when he turns reflection does so he tries to get out of the way lol).
Any thoughts?
Water:
PH 7.6
ammonia: tinged color, is from the water change I think, some ammonia in tap, bound with Prime.
Trite: 0
trate 10-20 (color is hard to tell).
I'm sure I'm very over cycled right now due to the fishless, its only 1 oscar in a 75g, not adding a ton of ammonia anymore.
Just anxious from the trip?
Do another change?
Edit:
As I write this he came up to top exactly were I feed him and waited, smart fish!
