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

Question hey lynda josh again my oscar started doing these quick jerky circle movements
in his tank mostly close to where his little nest is ''is this territorial or a sign of
indegestion''? when i peek around the corner hes normal then when i come into
the room he starts doing it his water is good and he doesnt seem to be injured
or anything
Answer Hi Josh,
He could be happy to see you...feed him cooked frozen peas just in case, and don't feed him anything else for the rest of the day. He should get peas once a week to clean out his system. Remove the outer layer.
Feed him crickets that you buy at the pet store, and cleaned worms that you buy at the bait store, along with minnows. To clean the worms put them in oats for about a week. Vary his diet, and he should be okay.
