oscar

I currently moved my peacocks out of my 125 and into the 75. I had an empty 125 and decided to go look for an albino Oscar. I bought about a 6 in or bigger albino o, and a about 4 inch jack Dempsey. My O who is extremely larger than the jd seemed to be getting bullied by the jd. my buddy is...

Hi I have a 4-5”in. Oscar and a new 6”in. silver arowana in a 55 gal. My 125gal is down for now.The arowana is not eating my friend told me it’s becuz the fish is stressed he also told me to take the Oscar out and put him in a rubber bend with my BIO FORM FILTER out of my tank and leave the...

I have a 200g tank in the way and still haven't decided on filtration. I have never had a tank this big and am not sure where to go. I am thinking about doing two canisters, but I have no clue about sumps. anyone wanna weigh in and shed some light and drop some tips??? Currently there will be...

I just thought of putting a Mom Olive pickle jar in my aquarium. The aquarium has 2 peacocks, an oscar, a sleeper goby, a callicthys cat, Raphael cat and 2 blood parrots. Will it be safe for them or is the glass different from the actual aquarium glass? I also have another set up with three...

So those of you who know my Oscars and those who don’t I have threads of them on my page with info. They are ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT 100 PERCENT displaying massive amounts of ongoing breeding behavior. This includes but isn’t limiting to knocking over my structures and cleaning them. I do not...

The title says it all.. Here’s a link to a little video of my tank I just posted today, so it includes my newest addition!!! Check it out! Thank you to everyone who likes and comments on my posts here. I appreciate all the feedback and advice, I don’t have any friends or anything in the hobby...

I have a small group of 4 inch Geophagus 'Tapajos' and a 6 inch Black Ghost Knifefish. If I get a baby Oscar, will my current fish grow fast enough to avoid eventually being eaten? I know Oscars grow quite fast in comparison. BTW, I'm not worried about aggression, I have that covered.

My hungry girls are wanting their pellets with the remaining goldfish they haven’t eaten behind them.. apparently I am running a restaurant where you just order what you want when you want.

This is just a place to bask in the awe and glory that is my Ruby and Opal. P.s it is not recommended to stare for more that 10 seconds at the images of perfection for fear of spontaneous combustion or sudden blindness.

Hello everyone, I've been wanting monster fish for quite some time and am finally taking the plunge and getting a "big" tank. Up until this point my biggest tank is a planted 75 gallon angelfish tank so I have no experience with big fish. I've wanted an Oscar since I was 10 and have finally...

I've been thinking about it lately and I think I want to put together my first "monster" tank. I think the jump from 55 to 125 (6ft) isn't too crazy and greatly widens my stocking selections. To narrow it down I'd like to stock SA/CA cichlids. Filtration: I'm trying to decide between a Fluval...

So I've had an Oscar for a bit over a year now, and he's always been doing great. But last week I went on vacation for a week, and had a friend take care of him for that time. When I got back I noticed these strange spots on him. Their all over him, on his head, his fins, and partly on his...

Hi I’m new to MFK and I was wondering if I could have any more tank mates in my 300 gallon tank. I have a silver arowana, three kelberi peacock bass and an Oscar. I was thinking about a clown knife or a tiger shovel nose. Thanks and would love to hear suggestions.

Hi all, I've just got a baby Albino red tiger oscar, only 4cm really tiny , any suggestions what's the best food for them now to grow ASAP?? Pellet or dry shrimp ??others? Thanks

i will be buying a 265 gallon tank along with a 55 gallon DIY sump filter. My question will be with stocking the 265 display tank. My absolute must have fish is a fire eel I was thinking for tank mates on doing 1x tiger Oscar 1x gold saum 2x red sevrum 8x silver dollars Any issues you think I...

I recently bought a second hand 6x2x2 tank which is practically brand new for a good price. I wanted to put 2 oscars in it and a small school of spotted SD's. Now I was wondering if there is room for a cool catfish, I was thinking about raphaels or maybe pictus'. But then again I dont know if...

I found out early this morning that my Uncle passed away... He was one of the biggest influences in getting me into the hobby... Jimmy had been a professional breeder of several types of fish for over 50 years, but by far and away, his favorite fish has always been the Oscar. In the years before...

So the Grand plan is to get a tankmate for Toni. Final stocking atm will be the two Oscars and six Spotted Silver Dollars For the 125 I just got. I was torn, what kind of O to get, Albino Red, Lemon, Copper, Chilli Red, or wild caught. The Wet Spot had some wild caught Columbian in stock so went...

So friends, I had a Leiarius longbarbis that was sold to me as a Perruno Cat (still havent counted dorsal fins) as a juvenile. Soon after doing my homework shortly after purchasing it I had realized I bought a monster and within a month or 2 I had rehomed him back at the LFS where they have put...

Hi guys, I was wondering if it would be acceptable to house an Oscar in a 120gal with about 5-6 Spotted Silver Dollars, and 4 or so of a Thorichthys species? The tank dimensions are 4' x 2' x 2' and I feel as if i have more than adequate filtration... my worry is that if i went ahead with the...
