ok guys, im sort of new to fish keeping and have 2x 4inch orscars, 3 goldfish that live with them(around 2.5-3 inches) and a pleco(5 inches)
they are in a 20 gallon tank (will be upgraded soon)
gravel : natural substrate
filtration : whisper power filter 20, and an elite 802 air pump
decorations : 2x 12inch plastic weeds, driftwood, and a few rocks
what i feed them : goldfish (sometimes), shrimp, cichlid gold medium sized pellets, rosy reds, lettace, the odd mealworm
the tank is always dirty, as i have heard oscars are messy, but this is REALLY messy,
also, i was wondering if i can change my substrate to sand, just because it looks nicer and im assuming it will be easier to maintain
