IN A MESS...Need advice please

[Jay88]

Hi guys...

Been a while since I have posted. Been having a rough time in life...work, studies and my father's health.

I just need some advice, I am not thinking straight... this is whats been happening...

I have two tanks...60 gallons each...and inside them:

TANK 1

-3 oscars (had them 7 months, and they are around 6.5 inches...they get along peacefully)
- 6 small silver dollars

-1.5 ft of the tank is divided for my female flowerhorn, who is around 15cm, and does not complain.


TANK 2

-1 red dragon flowerhorn (20cm) ... 2ft tank space
-1 KML flowerhorn (18cm) ... 2ft tank space...


I want to keep the flowerhorns...and if possible 2 oscars.... what do I need to do... and how long do I have before they grow out... I need assistance on what to do with the oscars please....

I was going to get rid of the silver dollars...thank you.

Most people suggest 1 oscar need atleast 75g. And considering fh are usually quite aggressive.

75 gallon for each flower horn, they grow fairly slow.

a nice 180 for the oscars... You need that asap

Or trade in your fish for small ones.

You need bigger tanks, either several larger tanks or one huge tank. The FH will prob. be pretty aggressive.

Yep. Bigger tanks.

yeah get a 100 gallon for the oscars and like a 75 for the flowerhorn

Jay, breeding the FH's is your desired project. unless something big has changed.
I suggest re-homing everything else.
