I think you need to hold off on all new fish. Iridescent sharks do NOT lie around normally. I think something is very wrong with your water quality. Iridescent sharks normally are always on the move.
What to add with tiger oscar(URGENT)
- Thread starter Unthinkable
- Start date
The guy who sold me the shark said 12 inchs for the Irridescent shark. That will out grow 120 gallons?
Don't believe what they say at wal-mart. I personally don't get fish from walmart, petsmart, anything with "mart"... since they tell you stuff like that just to make a sale. Its unfortunate because many fish end up cramped in small tanks.
IMO you should wait. Don't add anything else with the Oscar in the 25 gallon tank. You're going to need that 120g very soon.

I agree. I was at Petsmart one day and was listening to the fish dept workers talking. One was saying that she didn't think the other girl gave good advice to the customer she had just helped. The girl who gave the advice said, "I don't care. We need to hit $800.00 in sales today." Meeting their sales objective was more important than giving the customer the real scoop.
Never again will I buy a fish from Petsmart. I bought a juvie oscar from there and within days he popped up with ich and hole in the head. Horrible place for any living thing. I wish they would stop selling livestock all together and maybe just stick to adopting cats.
