I HAVE BEEN TOLD OFF,****$$%^&&***

Well in a nice way I suppose.

Telling me my tank isan't big enough for E.....

I Should have a 6ftx2ftX2ft...
well I know this already.!!!!!!!!!!!

so ok what size tank have you got yours in??
or is it just pick on me day.

sorry chez, have I missed something - who has been telling you off? I will sort him out for you

lol stop it now you are in one of those moods

Well, seriously then, I dont think your tank is undersized for one single oscar. I know you are going to add a plec in there too, but if you keep an eye on your water quality, as I know you will - it should be fine.

The minimum size recommended that I have seen for a single O is 210litres, and you are above that.

mine is in the same size tank as yours chez and i have others in there too.

Thanks guys i feel better now
if it does start to look cramped i will get a 6footer
its not the length thats the problem to me as the alchove is 6ft
its the width from the back wall i can only come out 16inch to keep it level with
chimney brest otherwise it will come out passed it and look daft.
so while i was going to get the rena......
im thinking should i get this one now??? instead.
i like it very much. its 50 inch not much bigger just 20 litres more

It' a lovely tank chez, but if you are thinking of getting a new tank I wouldn't spend £300 just for an extra 20 litres.

If you are thinking of getting a new tank at some time, save your pennies and go for the 6 footer-now that would give pleccy and E a beautiful home!!!

Its interesting to see that they deliver almost everywhere - even Ireland which is unusual (take note MAry!!)

They don't do 6footers

These might though

Go on - treat yourself!

By the way chez who was it that told you off - not someone on here?

No Not here..lol
on another fish forum

your fish your tank just go with what you thinks best for elvis chez.


dekker

Good point, dekker.

Plec is being collected at 4

Richard who is a fish rescue (rspca) is having him for himself
so its just E the loner from now on.
One fish family here......................

I was going to call the Plec Pricilla

i wonder why you would have called your plec that. lol



dekker

i wonder Dekker

Why is it everybody else can have fish,that are 99% ok
but me i get the nutter out of the l.f.s. tank
and there was 2 to choose from........

I Put E a piece of cucumber in on one of them screwcumber..
you would think i have chucked a handgranade in
god know what hes going to be like when the moss balls finally arrive(2 weeks now)
and they start floating around on there own.
so maybe another fish wouldn't be a good thing really.

Oh thats a shame chez. At least you found a good home for the plec though

you picked elvis he must have done something to catch your eye at the lfs.

perhaps the otheroscar would have been very boring, you choses the entertainer



dekker

What are the moss balls for again chez? I remember reading about them on here somewhere but have forgotten what they were for now!

Apart from E head butting them

off ebay sellers websites???

Live aquatic moss balls,
these balls will help keep your aquarium water healthy
by digesting harmful toxins, they will also reduce algae
by competing with the algae nutrients.

They actually are said to be great for algae control
because they outcompete the algae by using the same nutrients and starving the algae.
In its natural habitat, their ability to move around by using the undercurrents to sink or rise in order to position themselves to receive plenty of light to carry out photosynthesis is interesting.

i think i will be getting a couple for both my tanks they sound just the job chez.
