The information you received is correct, but cancer itself is not genetic. You misunderstood what you read/heard. What happens is the genes within the single cells are mutated and the cells growing limit is erased, in a sense. A healthy person's immune system would most likely destroy this...

Yes they can get it. It's unlikely.

Genetics causing a weak immune system can make cancer more likely, but cancer itself is not genetic. Those fish you mentioned need good conditions to live in. Oscars especially. Being in bad condition can cause problems. Fish that need high quality water and are not given high quality water can...

:screwy: That post was before this thread.

The female has good blue, and the male has a good ring around his eye, and a lot more will probably show around the face.

You know the tattoo one is bull**** because she wants to keep the ones on her forehead, which according to her she didn't ask for either.

Why would you want your windows look like a mac?:screwy: That's like buying an HD tv and only using a VCR on it.

You can siphon a tank on the floor... As long as part of the tubing goes down past the water line in the tank it works.

You're putting these fish in an uncycled tank? (I'm trying to understand without reading 8 pages)

Yes it's normal for more spots to appear with the natural treatment. If you have correct amount of salt it shouldn't come back. The dropped temperature is probably the reason why ich came. That's the only way I see, but it was only a couple degrees so I'm not sure. The reason dropped...

I think a JD and 2 convicts (female, they're pretty) would look nice. You would have a pretty big and 2 smaller fish. I like your schools of tetras idea. You could turn it into a massive small fish community tank :D

I'm not saying not to check it. I'm saying it's highly unlikely. And the fact that it only happens at night, and other fish show no symptoms is another big indicator that water quality is not an issue. Another big indicator is that it sounds like the oscar has been doing this for a while. I...

If it was ammonia the fish would most likely be dying, getting burned, and rapidly breathing and not moving much throughout the day. I really wouldn't consider it a possibility at this point. In fact, I wouldn't consider water parameters a possibility at this point because it only happens at...

Do you know the symptoms of ammonia poisoning? As I said, and another member also, he's probably sleeping. Edit: Did you read my post? I said there would be more issues.

If it was ammonia there would be more issues. Are the lights off when this is happening? He could be sleeping...

Could it be bloat?

I think the ammonia could have stressed the fish enough to let the bacteria get in the eye and cause an infection.

I agree. I don't think even one person suggested it was a good idea. :screwy:

Just add sand from your other tank as suggested. That is the best thing you can do at this point. You really have no other options. Maybe add some decorations from other tanks as well. Doing water changes during a cycle is bad IMO, but in this case I see how it's needed. But you need to seed...

I would suggest starting again from scratch if you have another tank to store the fish temporarily.
