Why is that?

Why is that?

Messy, your Oscar and other large SA/CA cichlids are messy enough...

2x plecos + oscar = nitrate level off the roof...Unless you have a 180g+

What size tank?

 

[markandrosie]

The oscar has been separated from all of them now. The tanks 400L, i do clean it often and test the water and haven't had a problem so far

sounds like intestinal inversion, which might have been a response to an internal parasite/simple cleaning. not trying to alarm you but i'd be worried if something bit the distended intestine. i'm sure cichlid keepers can advise you on how to treat an internal wound.

Clean water is all that matters.


Good luck with your fish sir.
