    The effects of ferts on TDS - Osmotic shock?

    For what I know, only harms the fish if the change in TDS is very big. And in some species, only in one way. For example, some fish from small streams of water in South America (some Apistogramma, for example) are adapted to fast changes from hard to very soft water. Why? Because when the rainy...

    Apistos + oscar fish?

    I'm sorry, I think you're right. I should be more responsible, so I won't try it. I just got excited with the idea, I think... My apologies and thank you for all the help!

    Apistos + oscar fish?

    Thank you both for taking the time to help me. Rams4life!, here in Portugal we don't have those stores but I understand what you mean and it does make sense.

    Apistos + oscar fish?

    I understand that, but I've also read that some people have successfully kept Oscars with smaller fish. Rate occasions, of course, but it's possible if the Oscar gets used to the other fish since it's a baby. But as I said, those are rare occasions and "it's better to be safe than sorry"...

    Apistos + oscar fish?

    Hello, everyone. First, I'd like to apologize if my English isn't the best. I was wondering if it is possible to keep apistogrammas and an Oscar together in the same aquarium?

    Ground cover

    I use magnolia leaves too and they're good. In my opinion, some of the best available. Their shape is "tropical", round and big, like the leaves of south American trees. They're safe, stain the water with tannins (good) and take a few weeks/months to decompose. Always use dead ones.

    mesonauta insignis (flag cichlid)

    I don't know about mesonautas, but most fish only display their greatest colors when breeding.
