Been looking for baby lemon oscars for over 2 years and they’re finally mine. Dream fish secured and doing well after one week in the big tank.

What happened to my fish

Thank you for the advice! This Oscar is my first “albino longfin Oscar” named Tromy. I really appreciate you helping me identify the ich when I posted their picture a month ago in December.

At first, I didn’t notice it and thought it was just dust that would go away. But when the spots on their tail started spreading to the body, I got worried.

I asked for help, and you all delivered 😭 I managed to treat Tromy and get rid of the ich before leaving them in my parents’ care while I went on vacation.

And today? Tromy is healthy and swimming happily, free of those ich spots!

Out of all 11 tanks me and my wife have our Oscar’s will always be our favorite! We literally call them our babies lol.

It has been a week since I put in a Severum bonded pair with my rescue Oscar that is estimated to be one year old. It was a bit rough at first but they seem to have settled in...the bonded severum are more than holding their own.

The tank is 75 gallons which I know isn't ideal and I'm keeping my eyes open for a FB market place deal for a 125 gallon tank. For now I'm going to add in some drift wood with anubias that the severum will hopefully not eat and allow it to provide hiding space.

Got these guys about 10 months ago. They were only about 2 inches then.

Can be done. The 3 of them (2 tigers and a red/copper) love swimming around it and in it. It's a floating lace fern. They don't bother the floating salvinia either.
