secret lol ... simply provide a descent sized aquarium and provide good filtration. I would suggest moderate to large weekly water changes. You should be fine. Oscars are the hardiest fish I've kept (2nd to flowerhorn) If yours are dieing, I would suggest finding a new hobby.

@jacksonjones402 there isnt any secret u just need to know what your doing. gotta feed them right clean the tank right and so on. i dont check my water ph and so on cause my fish live good in it so it must be good... ive even kept neon tetras and none acted sick and none have after around 4 months now so i geuss its your water.

whenever i put Cucumber or Zuchini in the tank my platys and guppies go ape shit and start eating it when it was meant for my pleco -.- he gets bullied by the smaller fish and i havnt caught him eating in ageeess. he hides behind the uv filter!! thats all he does!!!!
um i have a baby pleco with a baby oscar both about 3in, can u help me will they fight because i have them in a 5 gallon tank right now i know i have em in my 5 gallon because my large plecos need alot space plz help!
do the oscars harrass the loaches because i was considering getting an oscar and i have some loaches and im going to get a pleco? also i have some angel fish but they may be attacked by the oscar plz reply antone at all.
THANKS ! ... they are really large now, and for advice to others, I would NOT house two oscars in anything smaller than a 90 gallon. My two O's are getting territorial and they piss each other off with the lack of swimming space.
thank you ! ... I would not recommend a bicher with the O's unless you raise them all together. I had a peacock eel and my two O's destroyed him. (they are both almost 10" 's now) Good Luck !
i just started feeding them meal worms i also feed them fish flakes,Hikari gold cichlid pellets and feeder fish as you can see in one of my videos.o and your right man they are garbage disposals they even bit me before.how long did it take for your oscars to get that big?
Hikari pellets, blood worms, brine shrimp, crickets, worms, flakes, sometimes the occasional feeder goldfish- ... anything is good man, they are garbage disposals LOL

when the O's were babies, I would feed them every time I walked by the tank. Now I feed them before I leave for work in the morning, and when I get home, or before I go to bed- thanks again and GL !
Im loving the white sand and the fact that youre keeping them with other fish... if you get them socialised young, you will be able to keep them with all sorts of stuff.
hey isjustmecody ... Yes my clown loaches and oscars get along perfectly. When I first put them in there, the oscars were overly protective and chased them around for a bit. After a couple of hours, they calmed down. I think 1 oscar with 3 loaches would be perfect for a 55 gallon. - Best of luck and get some vids rolling when you get them in there !
hey thanks for the comment! I use a siphon hose that connects to the kitchen sink. most of the time I just skim over the sand with the end of the suction (around 1/2" from actually touching the sand). Sand is amazing and most fish would prefer it over gravel. The only negative with sand, ... any waste from the fish usually finds a resting spot on top of the sand, which can be an eye sore. Gravel allows for feces and other waste to slip between the cracks.
I've heard of them getting over a foot in length, but it takes MANY MANY years... as for them eating feeders... do you mean bottom feeders or feeder fish?
do you use feeders?? i think i made the mistake of giving mine to much, and im afraid to put in clown loaches in with him. mine is about the size of yours, what do you think about clown loaches with him??
To be honest, I've only fed my Oscars feeders twice in their lifetime. when I first put the clown loaches in the tank, they were frantic and dipped head first into the sand... stayed that way for hours. The albino oscar tries to bully them around, but he can't catch them.
Their rear tails are larger than they should be, and allows them to have very fast short bursts of speed. If you decide to get some, try to keep them in shoals of 5 or more. I only put 3 in this tank, because 90 gallons is too small. (read up on how large clown loaches get before you toss them in your aquarium.) You should be fine with adding them
DIFFERENT TANKS IM GUESSING! ether way this guy is a beast and i love seeing people that know what there doing and how amazing there tanks are.... GOOD JOB DUDE!
thanks buddy, One of my little ones decided he wanted to jump out of the tank around 5am, ... he didn't make it, I replaced him with the albino you see in the video. - thanks for the good feedback !
Thanks closer2mod ! I strive to keep them growing stronger and healthier everyday. I plan on moving them to a 125 gallon for their final home (should be within a year).
Sounds like a plan to me!:) Im just sick of seeing all the videos of oscars in tanks under 30G. They really do look great so your achieving your goal IMO.

You have to cycle your tank before you add fish to it. Look up "fishless cycling" and do that. It takes a couple of weeks.

try picking some up at your local pool and spa store. I'm using Silica pool pump filter sand. ... around 5 or 6 dollars for 50 pound bag.

... I siphon with a thick hose. Once a month or so, I swish it all around (filtration off) and allow it to resettle to prevent dead spots.
