Jewels with Oscars?

Midnight snake is more along the lines of something a college girl would get than it is something to do with fish I think you meant a midnight snack and that's what Jay is talkin about .

I have a friend who has a breeding pair of jewels 4-6" with a 10" oscar in a bare 75 gallon. they get along well, the O doesnt even eat the fry when they swim near him. These fish started in a 30 gallon together, the jewels were about 3" and the oscar was around 6".

Two oscars and a pair of jewels will be overstocked though.

I know, we are moving soon, and I will be upgrading. I'm just not sure to what size, until we find a place. I want a minimun of 265, but we have to be on the 1st floor.

I have 3 Oscars and (approx) 10 Jewels (2 breeding pairs) together in a 300 gal Rubbermaid along with JD, GT, etc tank mates… The Jewels squabble amongst themselves but do not attempt to harass the others… The fry from both pairs are always eaten, usually by the Dempseys which have no problem pushing the pair out of their way…

I’ve kept breeding pairs of Jewels and breeding pairs of Convicts together as well… inch for inch the Convicts have proved far more capable of defending their fry against the Jewels than the reverse…

I have several male Jewels in a 125 gal with an adult Blue Dempsey and a couple others… The Blue Dempsey rules the tank with ease… The Jewels will challenge the Firemouth and the female Green Terror, but stays clear of the JD…

My experience with the 20 or so Jewels I’ve kept is that their aggression is far over rated… in both breeding pairs as well as singles…

So no one complains about all the off topic banter passed back and forth? That would drive me nuts had I started this thread...
