This is what happens......

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i tried rescuing an oscar from a crappy home before, but it was too lat for him. he passed way within 2 days.

i hope yours does well and rebounds for you. goodluck!
 
Good luck with him. I have 5 severums, 2 SD, 1 JD, 4 angels, and a ropefish that are all unwanted rescues.
 
good luck, I just did samething.
rescuing 4 fish -
2 medium goldfish(I have 10 heated tanks,no cold)
also 2 large belly swelled 3 spot gouramis. (I wouldn't put in same tank)
No FILTER JUST AIR BUBBLER.:eek:
The tank was sooo nasty, I put together another empty for them and poured bleach in old tank. before bleach.......
I dug out gravel (by hand)to move along with fish..gagged all the way :irked: through 3" of fish #2.
anyway, gouramis got ick really bad and died 4 days later.:(
and guess what I still have kicking circles around the tank....yep.....
GOLDISH nice and healthy ! :nilly:

An Oscar is the pit bull of pet fish,meaning it gets bought,put in a small ass apartment,either dies or mauls somthing because of TERRIBLE OWNERSHIP..........

that is just because they are so readily available, and they will eat fish people get them for that reason so when that novelty wares off then they have no use for the fish and they stop taking care of it...

Sad but all too true.
 
Here are a few bad pics of Bear (named after Bear Grylls 'cause he's a survivor!)

He is really active now, and taking pellets like crazy. i can only imagine what he'll do when i give them worms tonight!
