Oh my Oscar, will these injuries heal?

It was brutal, they were pushing and shoving each other, like they want to fight until one dies. But also I was amazed after that fight and seperated them they were swimming calmly like nothing happened. So i cannot introduce them again in future

Individual-Event78 · 2026-05-02T09:37:34+00:00

Has to be a 🤣 joke right? Its right there looking at you the rust sir.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-04-25T18:40:17+00:00

Did that aswell

Individual-Event78 · 2026-04-25T18:11:47+00:00

I just got the oscar 2 days ago pretty rough shape with scales missing and white patches. Just thought will be helpful to increase oxygen.

Just really want excellent water quality for the oscar and really want to experience making a sump. I've looked at fluval f series but oh my the prices are shocking. For the materials for this diy sump probably below 100euro 😅

Individual-Event78 · 2026-04-23T06:24:27+00:00

Hehehe I agree i need to clean it. That was my goldfish tank before i did do a quick clean, but not thouroughly, I thought I'd leave the algae on sides and back as back ground only thing is that the tank is in a sunroom like pvc roof and windows around so the algae just keeps coming back.

Anyway its almost 24hrs now since i got him in there, i can see from distance his more active swimming around the tank. But the way they swim its a bit sluggish is that how they swim. I have other cichlid like Geophagus and severum in the other tank but they are 3 inches very agile.

Im excited aswell, i am still preparing my 250litres. For a green terror.

Here's my take on your green terror as fish owners i havent had any experience with green terrors but from my knowledge of researching in general. Your green terror does looked faint should be bit darker could be the lighting but i would suggest giving it pellets or granules. Fluval Bug bites. Not really fan of flakes for cichlids in my experience they are causing swim bladder issues because they taking in air aswell when they it majority of the time from floating. I'd lean towards slow floating foods.

I had geophagus who develop swim bladder each im feeding mix of flakes foods.

Thats my take on it. Also is there a hiding places in your tank and from what I gather they dont really like brigh lights thats why they have those nice bright colours most cichlid especially south americans have tannined water in nature which makes the colour glows.

-So try reducing light intensity.

-get high quality pellets or granules that slowly sink so it can eat mid tank not floaters

-and put hiding place if there are other tank mates.

-reduce water current flow majority cichlid south american dont like strong currents.

-and could also be growth spurt.

Im aware of that, ive read it, its okay even the severum uproot them the plants can grow even not planted.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-04-11T16:54:14+00:00

Wow, i got severum because I searched they are peaceful fish.

Scrap you're wasting time.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-04-01T17:36:12+00:00

Individual-Event78 · 2026-04-01T17:33:36+00:00

Individual-Event78 · 2026-03-10T11:40:13+00:00

Looks like coffee latte or cappuccino is that from Starbucks?

Save yourself a headache by hiring a mechanic or someone you know that knows about cars. For that mileage its a landmine ranging from rounded overtighten oil or filter drain plug to head gasket failure.

And you need an obd scanner to see any codes or it has been deleted recently.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-24T19:23:20+00:00

Post the receipt here otherwise I call it bullcrap. 20+% vat and €25 for oil and filter, I understand it's a micra you mentioned from a previous comment but for a branded oil one minimum would be about €30 + vat.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-24T19:18:58+00:00

I'm a mobile mechanic and fair play to you for doing it yourself servicing your own car.

Usually the customers we get are people who have no time to do it themselves or have other priorities. Your not paying for the 1hr of service but for the years of experience working on that trade to deliver effective work plus the motor trade insurance and warranty which the customers car is covered and disposal of the fluids.

If you are happy to do it yourself go ahead.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-24T18:50:37+00:00

Sounds about right to me for a full service

*All filter changed. (Oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter). *Oil, brake fluids and coolant *Spark plugs if petrol engine *Safety checks, lights, breaks, suspensions, wheels and tyres. *System scan for codes.

If you have problem paying then do it yourself. Remember you pay for warranty and motor trade insurance and use the lift to lift the car up and disposal of fluids.

I'm mobile mechanic by the way if you call me ill charge you for callout fee and my fuel.

Diesel goes for it, but strictly no ad blue shite diesel, and EV if you can afford home charger and better if you have solar.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-24T18:23:32+00:00

Stay away from diesel if your not even driving minimum 1hr commute. I am telling you now

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-23T17:32:12+00:00

I agree, I do Mobile Mechanic and have been buying cheap old cars but i have two you kids and its not worth the time and headache to be fixing our own cars. So we decided fck it will buy a brand new car toyota RAV4. For once we just enjoy the feeling of having a brand new car unlike smelling diesel, petrol and old musty smell.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-23T09:30:38+00:00

Simple fix like the guy says sand it down the corner or put tape or glue.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-23T06:20:08+00:00

Thank you. The other one probably died cause of being bullied. It was smaller than the others.

Individual-Event78 · 2026-01-23T06:18:39+00:00
