    Impossible HITH

    My O came down with the early signs of H-in-H a few weeks ago. I had recently added a new fish to the tank, so i did what i have always done when dealing with hith, raise temp, salt, melafix, 50% water changes twice a week, vitamin supplement for food. After two weeks nothing had worked, in...

    White worms

    white worms on the glass are common in fish tanks. all most all tanks have those worms in the gravel but they only come out when the tank is a little dirty. you need to 1 starve the worms a little so don't feed your O for a few days. Also, clean your tank and more importantly syphon your gravel...

    Possible HITH??

    really get into your gravel and clean it up, also add some melafix. It cleans the wounds that are the hith. i'd do 50% twice a week, but really it's all about a good syphoning taking water off the top does nothing, get in there and get it clean. as far as diet goes, in some ls you can get...

    Breeding Steady Feeders

    Con's breed fast, but they don't make the best feeders because of their cichlid bone structure, aka very bony = dangerous for your fish to eat. but as compared to other feeders, they may be your only really steady supply unless you want to breed guppies which isn't a bad idea at all as an...

    At what age/size do O's reach sexual maturity

    At what size/age do oscars begin to lay eggs. I have two o's in separate tanks and would idealy like to introduce them both into a larger tank to attempt to pair them up. I have kept the separately until now hoping that one would eventually lay eggs (or both so as to sex them first), however as...

    Red Devil

    try changing the set up of the tank a little bit into a way which makes the fish more comfortable. Every fish has a different personality, so you just have to feel it out a little bit. gl

    I am being a lousy fishkeeper

    Sounds like you are an ass. don't tell us about it, just get a new tank and fix the problem. but, it's very cute that you want attentions for being an idiot. Grow up, get a job, then take care of fish (when you can actually maintain them)

    White Worms

    You got a dirty tank, when you clean really get into your gravel.\ The worms can disappear after a week, but you need to keep up with cleaning often or else they will come back.

    Theres an ant clinging to my GT's face

    I would clean your house, probably not good to have ants running around. But then again it's kind of like free live food.

    advice on adding another cichlid

    Convicts tend to be very territorial once they've established a breeding pair. You need to let us know what size tank you have. If it is large enough, i would advice maybe adding two fish instead of one. One new fish will take the brunt of the convicts furry, but two might work out better so...

    GT Color are a little dull.

    Lots of factors. Could be that it is not comfortable in the new environment. Do you have both your gts in the same tank on could be stressing the other out. Could just be a female, in which case color will improve when they reach a breeding age. Diet is important but most pellets have enough of...

    any one have abnormally large convicts

    Convicts do not grow very large, i;ve personally never seen one much over six inches. There must exist an Eight incher out there somewhere, but i don't think that is a normal size for the species.
