What brand of pellets, etc is best for every day use to feed a red tail oscar?

I posted this in the Vents and Rant forum, but thought I would post it here too as it pertains to chins. A few months ago I went to a Petco and instantly feel in love with chinchillas. I went home and researched for three weeks and finally decided that I had the lifestyle and capabilities to...

A few months ago I went to a Petco and instantly feel in love with chinchillas. I went home and researched for three weeks and finally decided that I had the lifestyle and capabilities to support the needs of a chinchilla. So, in February I went and picked one - his eyes were clear and...

Hello I found a baby molly in my fish tank, I have two female adults, one is fat, I put her and the baby in a "floating" birthing net in the main tank. Overnight the mother did not have any more, but she is still fat. How long does it take for the rest of the babies to be born?? Should I leave...

I have a 3 month old freshwater tank. It's a 9 gallon biube, planted tank with 7 guppies. I noticed a small snail on the log one day about 2 months ago, but I never saw it again so I figured something had killed it. The other day, however, I saw about 40 little snails crawling EVERYWHERE! I...

I got some crickets for Mr. Squishy last week and I dont know what they eat. Ive been feeding them potatos but I have a feeling theyre gonna croak on me soon! :P What should I feed them?

I've been working at the fair for the week and I was saddened to see the way these hermit crabs were treated , sold as prizes and such. They were in a 25 gallon and there were about 40 of them in there :mad2: So I asked if I could by some, so far they've let me get two, I'm trying hard to save...

I had such a crappy day! I had my first physics lab this afternoon and it was horrable! I was getting so frustrated with it I almost started crying. To top it all off, it took me forever to do the work because I was having trouble understanding it so I didn't get out of class in time to go to...

Cycling A Freshwater Aquarium Here's a common scenario: Someone buys a new tank and goes out the next day and buys fish. They die within weeks and the person assumes they just "aren't good with fish" and gives up. It doesn't have to be that way. The reason those fish probably died was because...

Okay, so I got a free tank. I'm guessing its around 12gallons What should I stock it with. Were going away in August for a week.So I'm going to be keep it going and get it really cycled. My Betta 'Barbado Bob' is livining the tank right now, because the ten gallon got a new filter thats too...

I got two african dwarf frogs and I tried to feed them frog bites, flake betta food, and pellet betta food. Neither one of them seem to have eaten anything at all. It kind of looks like one is trying to mate with the other. Does anyone know how often and how much they eat. Or if therre are any...

I thought it would be fun to start a hermit crab recipe thread because hermit crabs can eat so many different things. Just list your food & treat recipes!:eat: I feed mine crushed cuttle bone, white rice, oats, fish food, aquarium salt, and cammercial crab food all mixed together! They LOVE it...

This hasn't been posted yet so I figured I'd better make a thread. Ornamental Fish Food Recall OregonLive.com: Everything Oregon Goldfish Latest Victims In Pet Food Recall In case anyone is wondering, no, my own fish have not been affected by this yet :). I feed a mostly natural diet of frozen...

so i've had this 10 gal up and running for 24 hours now. 2 plastic plants, 2 big rocks with holes in them, one anchored driftwood piece. the water has slowly gotten cloudier. it's not opaque or anything, but it's foggy looking. 1. what's caused it.....2. do i have to fix it....3. how do i fix it??

theres a snail in the 10gal tank, hes hanging out on the heater.. i would assume he came with the plants.. prolly should have rinsed them better.. didnt think about it, since we were putting them in an empty tank. So now what? Alot of stuff i read said to take him out, and 'dispose' of him...

Well my beautiful betta Martin is doing amazing, hes going on a year here with us, we just fixed up his tank, new rocks and plants, hes in a small aqarium but its nice... We also just bought a female betta...she was in such a tiny little cup and just was so still, she has these sad little eyes...

Well about 2 years ago after all my fish had died I put my tank away. Now I've decided to set it up again, but I don't remember everything about setting it up. How long are you supposed to wait before getting fish? Can you put plants in right away or should you wait too? Any other advise would...
