Crested Myna

Oscar
The Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) is a large, personable cichlid from the Amazon basin that can learn to recognize its owner and even leap for food from the hand. A voracious carnivorous predator — it will fight or eat tankmates — it needs a big tank and, despite its thuggish nature, is one of the most interactive tropical fish you can keep. It can live 10 years or more.
Halfmoon Betta
The Halfmoon Betta is a tail-form of Betta splendens whose caudal fin spreads to a full 180 degrees (or more, in the prized Over-Halfmoon type), resembling a half moon. A labyrinth fish that breathes air at the surface, it is easy to keep but must be housed alone or with peaceful tankmates because males fight.
Giant Gourami
The Giant Gourami is native to the rivers and lakes of the Greater Sunda Islands in Southeast Asia, where it is an important food fish and is widely farmed, making it common throughout the region. It is very easy to keep—hardy, fast-growing, and capable of reaching a large size in a short period.

The Alabama red-bellied turtle is a small to medium aquatic turtle with a carapace 35–45 cm long. Hatchlings are vividly colored, but in the wild adults become dull and grayish-black; captive-bred individuals can retain their bright coloration.
How to Treat Scale Loss in Blood Parrot Cichlids
Find the cause before treating scale loss in blood parrot cichlids: fighting from overcrowding, poor water with bacteria (leading to red-skin disease or fungus), or injury. Fix overcrowding with a bigger tank or separation and yellow powder; clean the water and add salt or potassium permanganate; for red-skin or fungal disease, isolate, disinfect the tank, and use salt/permanganate or furacillin baths.
