so my cousin has been asking me for awhile to take care of his 7" oscar till he can get a bigger tank and i had been kinda leery about it because i didnt want him to hurt my fish. he kinda just brought the oscar over without warning last week half dead so i had to put him into my tank.
well i got my first silver arowana july 30th and of course i didnt want an oscar neer him, but my cousin insisted it would be fine and the oscar is not aggresive at all. so i said i would buy my cousins 75g tank the next day for the oscar, but they would have to share a tank for 1 night.
when i came home from work the next morning they were fine but right as i was about to leave to pick up the tank the oscar attacked my aro. i moved the aro to a Q tank at 84 F and added salt. when i got hom ewith the tank he was dead. still my cuz refuses to pay me for the $66 aro and for taking his oscar and caring for him. he still wants me to pay him $100 for the tank and stand.
that really sucked, but the next morning i found my shortnose gar nose down in the sand. i had noticed the day before the inside of his mouth was red and went looking for what it could be. he was in the Q tank at 84 F with salt. i was so worried about the red mouth and the aro i didnt think to fully inspect him and if i would have i would of noticed the red anus and could have treated for parasites.
so now ive lost 2 very awesome expensive fish because ive made 2 very stupid mistakes.
ive decided im selling my big tank to just keep 2 75G tanks and ill be selling the fish that wont fit in the next few months. idk if ill end up getting another big tank later on in the next couple years
