  • Hi my name is.....

    Hello everyone in the box, im brand new to the fish game. Started on black friday with a 12 gallon but somehow it turned into a 55 gallon filled with a green terror, 2 parrots, 1 flowerhorn, 5 discuss, and a firemouth.. oh also an albino oscar.. They seem to get along but chase each other at times, they are all still under 2 inches.. Well I hope to learn from reading material on here and hopefully yall wont be bugged if I have alot of question

            Nobody can have just one

            You will need a quarinteen tank to keep the injured in while they heal.
            next on your shopping list should be a first aid kit.
            should be able to find a recomended list of meds somewhere here.

            Welcome, ask away we all like to see ourselves in print.

            He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                    Hello
                    So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

                              Welcome to the site, as was said, you upgraded fast, but with what you have in your tank I would say you will need to go even larger. The oscar can get up to 14"..
