Postby ENFORCER » Wed Dec 21, 2011 12:48 am

Good evening! New guy here from NC. I'm interested in starting an Oscar tank for my Baby Olivia who is six months old. I will be asking LOTS of questions .... Hope to create a friendship with fellow fish-lovers out there and possibly learn from your expertise.

Daytime and night LED's snapshot from cell-phone. The water is still a bit murky. I attempted an Malawi setup but the fish didn't show much of a personality ...I want fish that will interact with my daughter. I re-homed all the fish to a responsible Malawi breeder, drained the tank without cleaning the filter and added around 98% fresh water.
