Recently my almost 2 and a Half year old Oscar passed away he was very ill and while I tried my every effort to get him back up and going again it all failed 🙁 so sadly 2 days ago he passed away during the night.

This was a very sad day for me and he/she (who knows these days!) no longer with me is no longer suffering which is good because it wasn’t good.

What they had was called Dropsy which is a condition that can be fatal even with treatment which he was undergoing at the time it didn’t work and so he passed away.

I am happy that it’s over because it was very sad to see what was happening.

I have since picked up a Baby Red Oscar (same as before) and he/she is happily swimming around (while I am away because of it’s new environment) and this will happen for a day or two but should be fine soon after.

The fish tank was scrubbed clean water changed and left to run through the tank for a day to allow things to settle in.

There is the Oscar and 2 Albino Sucking Catfish which help to keep the Algae at bay which is good as it keeps the tank cleaner and healthier for the fish.

So to end this post i am much happier that I have a new Oscar but the one guy won’t be forgotten 🙂
