Hello
I just recently put some oscars in my 75 gallon freshwater tank
the tank has been set up for a good month and a half
I purchased 5 Oscars from the same store but not at the same time
the most amount of oscars I have ever had in a tank at one point is 3
Now I have two because all other 3 I have purchased have died
I have had my water tested multiple times and it's fine
the only explanation the store could come up with was that the fish were a "bad batch"
the two that have lived are doing fine, swimming around together (they are inseperable) except for one which has an internal parasite which we are treating
however, my main concern with these fish is that they are not eating
they have eaten pellets before and gobbled them up (as with feeder fish) but for the past 3 days they go up to the pellets but don't eat them
If youhave any advice for my new tank it would be great if you posted!
Thank you!
