A couple or more questions:
I just rescued 2 oscars (1- is orange and tan, 1 is tan with orange speckles and an orange and black 'eye' on it's tail)
Craigslist They are inseparable and very shy. They lay on each other as they swim. Is this normal? They were in a really small tank before. I have them in a 90 gallon now. Also there is a little Jack Dempsy that was with them. He is quite skiddish as well. None of them like you to be near the tank and if you are you have to be very still. They eat well and seem fine. But is this normal? Oh they are about 5 inches and the JD is 3 1/2 inches.
1. What is best substrate for these guys? They are of course dirty little guys and the large rock gravel I have is too tough to 'vaccuum'.
2. How often should I do water changes with 2-oscars, 1- JD, and 1-pleco? (Selling pleco but he's in there for now) I am doing once a week aprox 45% of water.
3. Do they often chew and spit out food? Or is it just my cooking?
Gold pellets.
Thanks awaiting all the wisdom on the way!
