Ideas For JD Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think a cave of any sort would be fine, but you want him to be able to easily get in and out. The one you've got made of glued rocks would probably be good if it were about twice the size
Hi. I have a problem. i just looked at Big Boy and he has a sore on his head. I don't know if it is HITH. It won'r allow me to post . Can you help me please?

See if you can get a picture to post, without a picture I won't be able to tell what it is. If you can't get it to post on MFK you can email it to monsterfishcontests@gmail.com and I will help you

I just tested the water:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate between 10 & 20
That does look like HITH/HLLE on the oscar to me. Nitrates between 10-20 normally I would consider fine but if the oscar is showing HITH, it might be time to kick it into overdrive and shoot for 5ppm or less. Could also have other causes like hexamita. NLS makes a food called hex shield, would be a good idea to start including that in his diet as well.

I have seen that food. Is there any other meds. I should use?
