I think Garlic is dead

I think Garlic may be dead :( because she hasn't moved in 3 days.

I can't pick her up & turn her around because Oscar will attack me & she has super sharp teeth.... I hope shes just sleeping & not dead, I really liked her... :( :( :(

I'm not sure what Garlic is but I think it's a fish?? Don't you have a net you could move her with?

Your O attacks you? :eek:

While I can't help with Garlic, (I hope he's ok!) I do have tons of experience with Oscars. If you want to give him something else to attack besides your hand, try this:

Take a ping pong ball and punch a hole in it to where it will fill up with a little water. Throw it in the tank then grab Garlic when your O is chasing the ball. I have an O named George who attacks his ball when I'm cleaning his tank. If he's in a decent mood, we'll actually play ball for a minute or two. :D Anyway, it keeps him away from me and gives him something to do when he's bored...which is usually at around 4:00am. :o :D

My oscar isn't stupid. She stops everythin when I go near her tank, I've tryed to get to chase something else, but she wont, & when she gets bord she smashed the glass rocks against the tank & wakes me up.
