Post Pictures Of Your Oscars!

I've never done this before...how do I post a pic? I clicked on the insert image and it asked for a URL. Do my pics need to be on the web somewhere first? Carrie

I used the photobucket link above, downloaded the pic, and pasted the IMG code as the URL for the picture insert.
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Upload the pic(s) by following these steps (try it again even if you think this is what you did the first time):
-login to your photobucket account
-upload the pic(s)
-look below the photo at the 4th 'text box' which is entitled "IMG Code"
-left click anywhere within that box (this copies the entire text box contents onto your clipboard)
-go back to your post on MFT and right click, then hit 'paste' (this copies the IMG Code into your post without any need for you to insert HTML tags)
That's it!
Something must have gone wrong the first time you tried it, so give it another shot.

jcpaisley, you had the starting tag stuck in your URL, instead of right before the http:// It also appears as though somehow you had "http://http//" instead of "http://"

Is what your link says, which is not right. However, when I try changing it to
[url]http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff17/jcpaisley/Beaudreux9-19-2007.jpg[/url]
it still says it does not exist...
EDIT: Got it, I think.

Nice oscar, jcpaisley...I can definitely see the resemblance between Beaudreux and Triton. Thanks to cchase85 for figuring out how to get the pic to show up for us---I could have sworn I tried everything (I noticed the extra img tag and the missing : too, but in the end I guess I just didn't have the 'right touch' to fix it, lol).
Amy...you have got to get us some updated pics of your oscar! Does he have a name? *thumbsups

Something is wrong with my camera! The thing doesn't even want to turn on! I have it plugged up and charging, but nothing...it's a dinosaur camera, it takes the floppy disks in it, so it very well may be time for a new one. *crazysmil
Of course, that's about right, cause he (she?) is in a beautiful position, right up front in the tank...
I have a Tiger oscar as well, but he has a case of hole-in-the-head I can't get rid of for nothing! I've tried water changes every two days, I've tried tetracycline (sp?), I've tried pennies in the tank...nothing seems to help him, poor fella.
Here lately, they've been rearranging everything and they've moved all the gravel to the walls of the tank and have cleared out an area right in the middle, all the way to the glass. Pre-spawning behavior? Or just bored???

That's too bad about the camera.
Is the tank listing in your sig. up to date? If so, I can only assume that the two oscars share the 55 gal. tank---is that correct?
Assuming that's the case, then that would explain the HITH on your tiger oscar. It will also serve as the explanation for why your other oscar will start showing signs of HITH, because it is bound to happen sooner or later in those tank conditions.
The digging behavior is a whole other topic, and I suggest that you check out the Oscarfish.com :: Home forum for further information on everything oscar-related.
A note on water changes...
Lots of water changes, in theory, ought to help...BUT...you need to make sure you're monitoring nitrAtes at the same time. Do enough changes to keep nitrAtes below 20 PPM. Verify that your tapwater also matches the parameters (including temp.) of your tank. You must test the tapwater for pH, ammonia, and nitrAtes.

Should I also dose them with Melafix? More TC? I think I posted a while back about HITH and what to do about it. You are correct, the two oscars are in the 55 gal. Will the holes "repair" over time? It's been about a week since my last WC, so it's about time. Currently, my NitrAtes are currently at about 40 ppm, NitrItes are 0, ammonia 0, pH is high, 8.4.
