So about 4 days ago my Oscar seemed to be getting spooked and darting across the tank randomly, which turned into hiding the next two days. (He’s the only one in there) I thought it was the shadows on the wall scaring him but he was fine with them for the past two months he’s been in there. (He used to have a smaller tank recently upgraded) I plan on putting something on the back of it soon. Other than that the nitrate levels were a bit high so I did some water changes and put API nitrazorb... Help! Oscar not moving or eating ..read more

Hi, I have a juvenile flowerhorn who recently (within the last 2 weeks) developed one cloudy eye. He is relatively new to me as I've only had him for 2 months. He's been up and down with some stress and I've been doing my best to manage the situation. I've been maintaining water parameters with low to 0 Ammonium, Nitrates, and Nitrites.

Could this be a bacterial infection? I have a thread here that seems to not generate any responses so I wanted to create a separate thread for this fish. I think I'm moving her out. I have another fish that's been isolated that has been doing salt treatment but no kanaplex or Jungle Fungus Clear yet so I guess she'll go in there vs the other QT tank that just finished 3 kanaplex treatments. I've kept her here with the white mark for over a week now and she's the only fish in main tank... Red mark on gill cover and white mark ..read more
