I love parrots) they are nice. And can't bite someone. They just picking) oscar is very messy. I want my FH only in my tank

To each his own, I agree totally with the messy oscar though.

I had this tiger cichlid since the beginning. He is a coward lol)) afraid of everything

They all start this way, can't count the number of posts I've seen about "my jag killed all my other fish!! IDK what happened"



Also when everything settles down you can look into adding some dither fish like giant danios or barbs.

Many cichlid keepers use dithers to calm aggression or add movement in a tank without adding a huge amount of bioload. Just a suggestion, take it or leave it.

Ooo thank You I will look into it. Now when water levels are good how long it usually takes for fish to heal?

Nice to see your parameters are in check. Now you need to, if possible, get some of those fish a separate tank or rehome them. Especially that jagaur cichlid. They can get extremely mean and over 20 inches and will annihalate your FH and rest of your fish if it's gets to that point. Give your FH time to recover! Just because the water is good now doesn't mean he will go back to his regular ways immediately.

like i said before, you need to continue to monitor your water closely and keep nitrates low as possible. temp should be stable now 75-77 is great. don't add new fish, bad idea and risk of bringing more problems with diseases and such.

Removing some stock is a great idea too.

it can easily take months for large fish to bounce back. Joey from king of DIY on youtube has a arowana that when gets stressed will not touch food for months.

So give it time, as long as he is slowly improving you should be happy with that.

Managuense that's what it called right? If I'm not mistAken it. But he is small like that since I bought it. Grew up maybe couple inches. I thought FH is most aggressive one
