Finally got better pics of my fish

[toxicfish]

When my 2 oscars got to be 11" and 11.5" the bigger oscar killed the other one


It looked like a train wreck. It just shredded all the fins and scales

the thing about these two is that they are inseperable, very rarely do I ever see them apart in the tank, I hope they don't kill eachother that would be bad

I replaced The dead Oscar with a JD and a GT

 

[searcyb]

so what do you think that i should add to my tank now?

What's your ph reading? I thought africans needed a ph of at least 8.2. The oscars and green terror need a ph of 7.0.You have both in your tank.Types of fish that is.

 

[searcyb]

actually, the tank is a very neutral 7.5ish the oscars and the GTs as well as the africans have not had any problems what so ever with the levels that the tank is at... that is a common misconception with what different types of fish can handle. If you get your fish from a LFS chances are that they store all their cichlids in the same type of water conditions... all around 78 degrees, no nitrites, fairly neutral water softness/hardness, and the pH is around 7.5 that is really all these types of fish need.
