Wow!! Thanks so much.. I did not know to do that..I will definitly have to try that next time...I know Oscars are very sensitive fish, and I really want to do this right.. Although, I didn't start out that way..I saw him in the store for a week and couldn't help it.. I was afraid he would be gone the next time I went...How long should it take for him to get used to the water and his surroundings, Typically speaking? And, what other signs of distress should I watch for?
