5  up to 50




5   still have a cloud..any suggestions?

Answer
Cog,
First thing, each Oscar needs 75 gallons to himself. They grow to 18 inches long.
About the cloudiness. What did you use to treat Ich?
Some medications like Quick Cure can disrupt the tanks cycle. How is your ammonia level?
Your tank may be cycling and the ammonia could be at a danger level.
I need to know these things before I can really help. For now, do a 90% water change.
