Oscar loosing colour.

it was a joke only about the handy andy lappies

 

My bad,sorry did not read your post properly.

 

I accept your apology Reaper, but please remember that there is a time and a place for every joke. I only wanted help and advise after the death of my Oscar. I've lost 6 fish that cost me a fortune.

 

lets leave it at that then enjoy your day

I think I know what caused the death of my fish.

It was Ammonia poisining. I couldn't understand where it came from but it was overfeeding.

With my wife home over the school holidays, she fed them twice a day while I was at work which means the fish was fed four times a day. The food decaying on the gravel and the excrete waste the fish produced caused a huge ammonia spike.

My water is back to normal now and the fish that survived seems healthy and happy.
I'll stock up my tank again at the end of Jaunary.

I would like to thank everybody for their show of interest, their help and advise.

Thank you everybody.
