So I recently picked up a 6' jardini about two weeks ago. I introduced him into my 90 gallon grow out tank,(occupant include 5 in red tiger oscar 2 pacu 3.5-6" 4" id shark 6"tsn and a 8" rtc x tsn) and s/he seemed to acclimate perfectly and was eating within the first hour. I woke up the next mourning to notice the jar had fraid fins had fraid. I kinda freaked but had to get ready and go to work. When I came I watched the tank for a long time and quickly noticed that the O' kept haunting the Jar. The Jar would over display (reason for the fins being torn) curl around the oscar and as soon as the O was ready the jardini would dart away. So I left them together hoping the jar would be fine(planned on watching very closely for the next few days,) but within the next couple of days I woke up to finding ICK on my oscar with a pretty nice flesh wound and some scales missing off the side of the Arow. So I took the oscar out and threw him in a hospital tank treating with aquarium salt and "quick cure" as well as mela fix. The main tank I made a heavy water change, treated with aqua salt and bumped up the temp. Everyone has been fine in the tank for the last week or so, and the O' seems to be healed up pretty nicely and the ick is undetectable. Though the Jars scales haven't completely healed everyone is eating fine. My question is should I introduce the Oscar back into the main tank? Should I grow out the Jardini or should I keep the oscar separate? The jardini is definitely a lot more important to me then the O so.... The Jardini definitely stays, though I feel bad because the oscar came first. But he always picked on the pacu any way....
Here's some pics of the missing scales on the jar... The blue in her fins and pink on the tips of her scales have gotten more vivid as have the spots in her finnage...
and the O'
And O' with Pacu...
can't you just tell their afraid?
