AboutLynda Expertise I can help you with cichlids, african cichlids, betta fish. I have bred most of them, including the Discus, and Angel Fish, and Rams. I have also bred many african cichlids. I have bred bettas too...well I am a fish nut! I can help you with most diseases, and have experience in setting up a tank. I can tell you tricks on keeping your water alkaline without products. I also speak and write french. I have experience with salt water fish, but would rather not get into that field.
Please when writing to me, give me detailed information. The size of your tank, your water chemistry, etc. The more I know, the more I can help you. I cannot guess at what you have, so please give me information and I will do my outmost to help you with any question you ask me.
Please do not ask me questions on Goldfish, mollies, platies, and guppies. Lynda

,temp 75 and plenty of circulation ,gravel and sum mopani wood . '' what do
you think ?
Answer Hi Josh,
Have you checked your ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates level? Has your tank cycled. Ammonia, and nitrites should be zero, and the nitrates should be low. This is very important. If your tank did not cycle, you may lose him.
If your tank has cycled, and the ammonia, and nitrites are zero, and nitrates low, then he is getting use to his new home. He should be much more happier in a big tank, as Oscars need big tanks to grow, and stay healthy.
