just start with a 50% water change and tommorow and the next day till you get the filtration fixed or the tank cycled.
 
no, its not or else u wouldnt be seeing ammonia

if ur saying u dont want to get the melafix on the oscar side, then are you saying the divider has no holes and is siliconed in place?

how does the whole tank get filtered without getting melafix on both sides when u only use one filter??

why do u even have a divider? fish can usually fend for themselves and should be rehomed if they cant

ur tank is filled like 2/3 of the way tops and is divided by a water proof glass sheet, ur oscars are not in a "112", which is actually called a 110, they are in like 50 gallons tops

it doesnt matter how many gallons your tank can hold if the water isn't in it, and i know ur getting like a lid or something

best remedy is getting a hob added to ur tank and putting some quilt batting for mech, then pack it with bio like eheim substrat pro, biomax or something similar


edit: wtf i just watched ur video the blue flash (aureus) has 0 filtration on his side of the divider, he's living in pure ****
 
if you would have seen my vid i have posted, i already DO have a filter on the other side of the divider.... an internal filter. and i also have a bag of white cotton patting ( forgot actual name ) i use for filter media for the internal filter. the firemouths are doing good now, and tank IS cycled.... just .25 ammonia showing. doesnt mean tank isnt cycled.... it is.
 
yes, it does

its called a mini cycle, don't get so offended, u made a mistake

and filter wool is just mech. and crappy mech at that, it just gets loose and flows around ur tank, put some bio media in that thing

and which side of the tank is showing the ammonia
 
and jw what kind of pleco is that that u have
 
its a common pleco. had it since it was an inch. now its about 4 inches. and both sides are showing .25 ammonia. and im not offended. i DO have some HOB filters should i add that to my eheim?
 
of course, the more the merrier

just make sure they're clean
