    The way my dad taught me in the 90s is to do throw a bunch of feeder fish in there for 1 month and if more than 50% of them make it you're good to go.. seriously 🥴 (then whatever fish you have left you put them in the creek out back)

    Love both these fish but Oscars are too big of a headache to deal with personality and maintenance wise. I have a saltwater tank in addition to my 55G freshwater tank and the saltwater tank keeps me busy enough trying to keep it clean and inhabitable for my fish and inverts(Saltwater is way better than freshwater when it comes to inverts). I like Geos a lot but I have settled on Angels as my centerpiece(s) because I think they mesh well with my Wild and active Turquoise Rainbows(who have put themselves at the top of my list of favorites now that I’ve put me a few in my tank). Plus my Black Neons are plump(in a good healthy way) and I don’t worry about losing them to Angels. Geos are astonishing and when I eventually do get another freshwater tank(a bigger one at that) they are on my list to keep. Always love videos and ideas for fish you give! Along with Joanna and John and Lisa I feel in heaven when I buy fish and see your guys’ advice and knowledge come to life in my experiences. I only tend to lose due to circumstances beyond my control anymore and not my own stupidity! As always thanks!

    I unfortunately bought, less than impressive Mbuna cichlids from a "big" online super store. Half died shortly after arrival, i.e. within 3 days. The other are hiding in the rocks I provided, lol. i.e. rock fish. They, however, failed to come out, even upon my "sweet fish voice"! I am planning on getting some gorgeous Angelfish and possibly, just maybe, Parrot fish? I have been looing into such. Thank you guys for this video. I do watch you as one of my "best" online fish keepers. I look forward to watching future videos. xo

    i have 3 tanks with bettas in them. Their water PH seems to stay around 7.8 but isn't that too high? I use halp RO water and half tap water. I live in Florida and our tap isn't the best which is why I started using some RO. Thank you so much for your channel and for any direction you can give me!

    I heard they can be carriers of a disease but not show signs. That's why I'm afraid to Just quarantine and then put them in the big tank. I thought giving them medicine prophylactically might kill anything that could be lurking inside of them so they don't kill my other fish. What are your thoughts on that? Is there maybe one medicine that I can give to prevent whatever disease they can carry without showing signs just for extra insurance? Also, should you quarantine and can you quarantine nerite snails along with guppies in the same tank?

    • @PrimeTimeAquatics
      @PrimeTimeAquatics День тому

      You can QT the snails with fish. It might limit some of the meds you can use should you need them though. It is possible that new fish can carry something and spread it to existing fish, but I haven’t found that risk to be high enough to use meds without there being an obvious reason.

    Just set up my planted tank with fluval stratum (with aquarium fertaliser underneath) its fully planted and started with 5 cardinals and a plec its two months old. I added 11 other cardinals about a week and a half a go. Two of my orginal cardinals have one white spots each, on kne the top fin and the other has one kts tail. Noticed it last night at 10pm, eo i immediately upped the temp to 31degrees Celsius. Added 4 table spoons of aquatic salt, im about to start the medicine...however iv just looked the two white spots have vanished off the the two tetras. I dont know if iv over reacted. It could be white fungus from the driftwood?

The other one seems completely fine. I'm about to do a 25-30% water change, should I run the course of the medicine for a week? Or should I do the water change then one more dosing of ich-x?

    I have always loved Oscars. Had a 12 inch albino tiger oscar named Chucky that was the ultimate water dog. I miss that guy. Could hand feed him. He'd get excited when you would come over to the tank. You could get close to the tank and open your mouth and it'd piss him off and he'd bow up on you in kind. lol. But he'd never attack you if you had to put your hand into the tank. He'd just wait till you were done and then go about his business. I've never seen any other species of fish be so interactive with people. Hope to one day have a spot large enough to put a large enough tank to keep an oscar or 3. Right now i'm down to just a single nano tank.

    As a Geophagus enjoyer, I like the fact that most of them are quite calm compared to other medium sized cichlids and that I can keep them with comparatively small and peaceful fish. Oscars have much more personality, though. Someday I would love to do both in a 300+ gallon lol

  • @HapiPETSWM
    @HapiPETSWM День тому

    I have a pair, one black one albino, I had to split them up because the albino was hogging all the food and thus grew to twice the size of the black tiger, so now I have one in with my African cichlids, the larger albino. and the other I kept with my sharks because he was so much smaller and was still swimming end to end up and down, but for sure do not keep Oscar’s and iredescent sharks together, if they are the right size they can’t harm eachother really but the sharks spook easy and are missiles! They won’t harm you or anything else but they can harm themselves. This being said I’m in the middle of moving the sharks to a much larger forever home
