If you’re new to this channel, a fishy welcome to you!! If you found this entertaining, please subscribe and talk to me in the comments.
🐠🐠🐠
So this morning I woke up to a nasty surprise. One of my marbled peacocks was swimming upside down. The bigger fish were also giving it a hard time, trying to eat it. On examining the fish it looks like it is a Swim bladder issue.
Please watch the video and let me know any thoughts in the comments.

    Although it's obvious that you have success with these products... I guarantee you that if you switch to Omega One super color pellets.. you'll see a drastic difference in color and less waste.... it's just a much much better product. Great aquarium but I kinda feel bad for the Oscars... Way out place in there just no room to flourish

    • @CichlidLove
      @CichlidLove Місяць тому

      Hi thanks. How many fish will depend on your filtration and also how much rocks you can have in your tank. The idea is to have enough fish just to curb aggression. More rocks will give the fish more hiding places so allowing you to add more fish. Another consideration is the water change routine.
