Behold, a man!

#fishblr #fishkeeping #lemon oscar #he’s so darn cute #a little shy but considering he’s in there with havoc who’s twice his size... #they seem to be getting along alright though

[ihavefishues]

Finally added a betta to my 30 gallon community tank.

He's called Ulthane and all he does is look good and swim where I'm trying to clean.

#i love him #fishblr #bettablr

angriest fish in the world

edited to add: this fish lives in a 120 gallon tank and is extremely well taken care of

#i love him #fishblr #havoc in a couple years #tiger oscar

Lemonade got his lights on today, and I’m more willing to believe he’s a lemon and not an albino now.

#fishblr #fishkeeping #he also colored up a bit now that he’s not so stressed #pretty boy #still kind of skittish especially around the camera but he perks up at the sight of food and seemed to be exploring a bit #all good signs #lemon oscar #aquarium hobby #qt tank

Introducing Lemonade, the lemon oscar (I think he might actually just be a very pale albino but we’ll see).

At my lfs he was being bullied relentlessly by four blood parrots, so I decided to take him home and patch him up, and see if he might get along with Havoc in the 55g.

He’s very shy right now, and seems to like the coconut hut.

#fishblr #fishkeeping #lemon oscar #oscar cichlid #he’s very cute but I’m a little worried about him #he’s pretty small for one thing #too big for havoc to eat but he might get pushed around #and he’s super hidey and a little skinny #he did perk up a lot when i gave him food so thats a good sign #im gonna try to give him a chance to get bigger and put on some weight before i introduce him

The bucket of BASIC fish care its wild how much they need.

#people come up to my register with just fish food and conditioner and im like Fine #but also no #also... at least two cabinets in my kitchen look like this ngl #fishblr

Some new plants and guppies in the 10g. It’s looking pretty busy now!

Havoc meets Malachite!

(divider for safety so they can both see/get used to each other before interacting and potentially fighting)

Someone returned this guy to the Petsmart near my house as a juvenile jack dempsey. Turns out he was actually a juvenile green terror, which they couldn’t sell, so I ended up adopting him.

His name is Malachite, and hopefully soon he’ll join Havoc in the 55g, but for now... qt and meds.

#fishblr #fishkeeping #green terror cichlid #ive heard gt’s and oscars can theoretically live together #obviously im gonna check for aggression and possibly get a tank divider just in case #but right now hes super shy and only comes out when the lights are off #hes also a bit smaller than havoc that should hopefully help #and as petsmart fish do... hes got a minor case of ich #which im currently treating with meds and salt #hoping for the best
