yup 8 oscars, but they were still 1 inch long and planing to transfer them to a 120 gallon tank after 2 months. I could not give you the water parameters because as of now there no available test kits for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite here. So do you think that its the ammonia nad stuff that killed my fish? I had no such problems when I started my 180 gallon tank (Eheim 2217 cxanister filter) with 1 golden arrowana. What suggestions can you give cause im planning to get my 120 gallon in a about a month or 2.

Thanks

ammonia is the #1 leader of fish death. Make sure your new tank cycles all the way before you put the fish in. Then put the fish in slowly. Maybe 3 fish a week until you finish moving all the fish. This way, it will allow the biological cycle to be = with the fish population.
