went to petsmart to check for a certin fish to go into my arowana tank...

ended up getting
4 2" clown loaches
1 1" baby red oscar..

lets pray to god my arowana dosent get ich or something from these new fish.. or i will cry and be done with fish.

Ich is one of the easiest diseases to cure. If your new fish bring ich then just raise the temp and add some salt. Don't add rid ich or anything like that because it has copper in it and will kill your loaches becuase they are scaless.

mhmm. i had ich before its simple i raised the temp to 90* added 3 air stones to the tank added salt... and bam gone in idk 2 weeks completely.. i just dont want my arowana dieing my first one i had died and i almost cried.. and this fish is 100x better than the first.. also the oscar better hold out for 4 weeks and get about 1" bigger so i can put him in a 220gallon with his 5 oscar baby bros

Why don't you put the oscar in the pond? It is plenty warm enough for them in florida.

lmao trust me they will be in there over time... right now our filter isent big enough to carry anymore fish load because its only a 500gal filter from work that was free we are picking up a 1800gal filter tomorrow... all my fish that outgrow my tanks (the arowana,clown knives, oscars when they reach 12") will be in the pond

im just raising them till they are around 18" then they go into the sexy pond..

but the 6 oscars i have are like 1-3" no bigger and the arowana who is 5" and the cks who are 2" wont be going in for atleast a year or more...

p.s clown loaches will go in also once they reach over 7" which will take a longgg asss time
and my oscars are:
1.) red oscar
2.) albino tiger oscar
3.) tiger oscar
4.) yellow oscar
5.) wild oscar
6.) albino long tail oscar
