Here's one...Feed less. Fish don't need to be fed 3 times a day. In fact they don't have to be fed every day.

snakehead will solve it soon when he eats all his tankmates, the emperors get huge fast, it will outgrow all the rest and prob eat em all! i say sell/move the snakehead then get a four lined pictus.

+1 Only fish I feed three times a day are the species in a tank if mine that's pretty much a whitewater rapid so they need the energy.

I recommend silver dollars, cheap, hardly and wont attack any of your fish. Mines eat all the left over food and some from my aro and datnoids. I would suggest clown loach but they may become food when the oscars out grow them but great savagers

he is doing his best, but these oscars are sooo messy. I guess it could be different when they mature, nothing is over 6 inches at the moment. The sailfin that is. And I feed them twice a day small pellets, too much feeding then I guess?
