Hiya everybody, I'm coming over right here from r/cichlid, was suggested to put up right here. I dwell within the Metro Detroit space (Macomb County) and have two free Oscars for anybody that desires them. I simply need them to go to a house that could be higher fitted to the fish.

Why I’ve them: a good friend of mine gave them to me as "pond fish" for my pond within the again yard. They stayed within the pond for a pair months proper up till earlier than fall began and I began wanting into how to verify they don't freeze throughout the winter. Throughout my analysis I found that the mf gave me tropical fish that may positively not survive the winter so I ended up bringing them inside and establishing a tank for them. Seems I'm not a lot of a fish man and discovered the exhausting approach that retaining fish of this dimension is extra taxing than I had initially thought – however I nonetheless need them to have a superb high quality of life.

I do know one is for certain a feminine, (white and orange) noticed her laying eggs the opposite day (which appear to have since disappeared), and never so certain in regards to the different one.

I’ve already tried calling native fish shops (as some have recommended) they’ve all mentioned they they might not take these Oscars right now.

Each fish have to be taken collectively and technique of transportation have to be organized earlier than selecting up.

Only a heads-up: I’ll almost definitely find yourself promoting the tank and filters to attempt to make a few of my a refund. I’d have supplied the tank together with the fish however I consider it might not be one of the best dimension for each of them (75 gallons). Please no judgement, I form of threw the whole lot collectively shortly in order that they wouldn't freeze exterior.

Thanks.
