no where
well my fish are having spasm whether its an hour apart 5 hours apart or even a day apart but every day there having suddon spasm. freaking out and running into things but doesnt last more then 10 sec. but now its starting to worry me. i dont hve any test kits ( only ammonia and ph BY API ) so any ideas? they are 6 and 6 1/2. they are oscars to.
 
and after the spasm there back to normal. taking down fake plants. moving graval, following me around... never had this prob with them before....
 
no. and yesterday after i got home fom church i turned on my light to the tank. and my oscars were on there sides floating. idk whats wrong with them but right now there acting normal. my other fish are fine. i have a severum ( had for a long time just havnt told anyone ) and she cant swim right. its like her right fin is broke or somthing, theres no fights b/w the oscar or the sev so idk whats going on.
 
then get rid of your fish

one w/c a month = 1/4 of the w/c's = 1/4 fish stocking

simple algebra

im only allowed a w/c a month.. which sucks!


You live in a controlled environment?


HEY! Is this really a fish pretending to be a human!:WHOA:

Seriously. Monsterfish need weekly water changes. Not weakly water changes.:ROFL: Ah, I kill me...:ROFL:
 
you have ammonia kit.. so no ammonia poisoning.. I'm pretty sure high nitrates can cause that... you should buy a master test kit asap.... what is your feeding schedule like? you might be getting away with it now but you will need to be doing way more water changes as the fish get bigger...


Tanks of steel joke FTW!!!:ROFL:
