Oscar Fish bites the hand that feeds her

[nyczlu]

(Wit lovely accent) It is blood isnt it !!

[matt5421]

i have 5 large pirahnahs and i stick my hand in the tank all the time have not been bitten once. but my oscar tank on the other hand i have to watch and its just 1 oscar but he jumps right out of the water towards my hand as soon as it goes over the tank

[Shanon576]

dumbass who puts there fingers in the tank. Might as well put your hand in a tank full of piranha's and splash around

[jackJber]

nice tank, ignore hate comments cause there is nothing to hate.

[MrJosephsdaddy]

i would just like to say that mr known it all knows nothing - mikeye9 i am talking about , gods honest truth i have come across this video whilst looking at Oscar info , it was labeled how not to keep Oscars !!!!!! open your eyes ... penn1969 keep up the good work

[efixeated]

Gorgeous tank...mine bite too..but he will let me pet him...lol

[AprilSaysRAWrr]

I think that all Oscars are pretty, handsome, cute, beautiful, etc., equally. And I don't think that one person should bag on another person pets just because they think they have better pets. Because maybe their pets have a brighter colour, so what? But I bet that the ones in this video have a better owner and are cared for a lot better than the other ones. I just recently bougth two babies... And I can't wait until they get to this size! [:

[kitsune6kumiko]

I like how you're housing your oscars properly. I bet they are very happy in there :).

Hope your finger's okay.

They may not have lots of pretty colours, but they are some nice looking oscars :)

Well done

[rokerz96]

love ur tank m8 =D

[cjc33m1]

Hey do you want me to show you how to feed an oscar lady?!

[bryankbeane]

one of those fish is a monster how old is the biggest one

[drewb1994]

drop the food and GTFO!!!!

[mikeye9]

Those are some ugly oscars. Mine have much nicer colours.

[Penn1969]

@mikeye9 I bet you've got a bigger tank as well, moron

[mikeye9]

@Penn1969 My fish clearly have nicer colours than yours, don't get bitter over it.

[Penn1969]

@mikeye9 Blimey, are you really 26 years old? You sure don't act like it, I would expect these sorts of comments from a young teenager, not a grown man. You really should grow up my friend and stop going around posting stupid comments on people's videos

[Penn1969]

@mikeye9 Christ, I have just seen a video of your Oscars. Yeah, I'm the first one to say they are very pretty. However, three Oscars in a 30 gallon tank, you're asking for trouble my friend, if you don't get a bigger tank very soon, you're pretty Oscars will probably be suffering from hole in the head disease, or some other horrible disease

[pokemaster1234567899]

@Penn1969 hole in the head disease ??? :O

Can u please explain why this disease occurs ???

I would like to know because my 5 pound Tropical Fresh Water fish seemed to die of this hole in its head that it had, please reply !

[espirates2]

@Penn1969 hey numbnuts, that's not a 30 gallon, that's plenty big for those oscars.

[MrBigdave111]

@mikeye9 ur a prick

[Slybacon19]

@mikeye9 ur retarded man, give it up... ignorant

[jackJber]

@mikeye9 lol I just visited your channel because I read these hate comment you posted on this video. And on your tank setup video, you have 3 oscars in a small tank... you are the moron to even put 3 in 1 small tank to begin with. and secondly, you are super defensive against hate comments on your video yet you are making hate comments on other peoples videos... Hippacrit much? Piss off mate. that is all

[Penn1969]

hi there, miss your presence on the Forum :-)

[SpAwNTRiAD]

[Penn1969]

I laddy, that would be me

[zemichka]

sto litara bre!!!

[mitchell527100]

how many gallons is your tank

[xavierlance1000]

how will i know if it's a boy or a girl

[xaviertai]

what kind of filtration you use

[shireoak24]

is there any special treatment tht we need to doo, when they bite?? wat do u do?

[Penn1969]

Yes, it's vitally important that you get a tetanus injection straight away.

Only joking, it's very rare that an Oscar will hurt you. If it worries you, don't put your hand in the tank. Mind you, my Oscar jump out of the tank when they see a handful of food coming towards them :-)

[UnstoppableJae]

i think its less about aggresion with oscars and more about eating...at least that how it seems with mine..they only act aggresive when its feeding time. its like they want to make sure they get theirs early lol

[kingboyzpromotions]

When it comes to cichlids oscars are the bottom of the food chain. I have had 3 oscars lose their life in my tanks and they were the bigger fish. Oscars do have teeth however they are molars towards the back of the mouth. Oscars can be killers in tanks by them selves or with smaller fish but put them in a tank with other cichlids its size and 9 out of 10 times the oscar gets hurt. Great fish and very smart oscars are def a great pet

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

Oscars are really good fish to have. They have an almost unpenetrable slime shield against pathogens and eat almost anything - mealworms, redmeat, pinkies, little fish, shrimp...etc.

[Mega916]

do Jack Dempseys have teeth?

[dannyboydwp]

I'm not surprized by the size of the loach.... just that the Oscar lets it live.

[Penn1969]

Why does everyone assume that every Oscar is a killer? Of the six Oscars I've got, none of them areoverly aggressive towards any of their tank mates. When it comes to aggression, oscars are nowhere near the top of the list

[dannyboydwp]

Look, I've owned several Oscars in 10 years of fish keeping. I'm not assuming anything. Get that straight, first. Secondly, in my 10 years of fish keeping, I've found that my Oscars seemed to like the taste of Tiger Loaches. It's not like I didn't feed them. Fact is though, I've seen Oscars eat (By eat I mean, kill and eat) all kinds of things. There's a video of one eating 2 "pinky" mice here on YouTube. It's not a matter of aggression, they're predatory and Loaches look like prey to them.

[Penn1969]

okay, calm down. You've obviously been unlucky and copped some aggressive Oscars. Most people have problems because they keep the fish in tanks that are too small. if you give fish plenty of room you cut down the aggression dramatically.

[steeloscarman]

oscars are aggressive just a different kind most cichlids are im gonna kill you bitch aggressive but oscars are get out of my way aggressive.

[MrMMABoy]

haha yeah

[steeloscarman]

oscars are like a fat man as my dad allways says

[AweSomo84]

ahaha Penn,

my pufferfish likes to attack me to when i clean the tank on mondays :).

LOve,

Erik

[JOHNWMC02]

I got nipped a few times. Doesnt hurt much but one time it drew blood. Love them crazy ass fish

[04uns]

Nice fish, the size of that clown loach!!!

[s3121145]

Yea oscars have two teeth so watch out

[byron979]

thats wat happend 2 me, lol

[Crazylogie]

What are you feeding in this video ?

live shrimp ? store bought? home raised ?

[Jebus2469]

check out the size of that clown loach at 0:32, really nice

[fattdog2004]

yeah they have teeth... in the back of there throat lol

[TandTfishpro]

WHY DOES EVERY 1 THINK OSCARS HAVE NO TEETH they DO HAVE TEETH IN THEIR MOUTHS U COULD FEEL THEM AND IF ITS A HUGE ONE eg. 16 inches up U COULD SEE THE TEETH PEOPLE GOT 2 GET THEIR INFO RIGHT B4 THEY TALK OR SELL FISH

[Crazylogie]

from my research Fattdog is correct in his comment the large teeth of an oscar are in the back of the mouth I think there is only 4 ... on the lips I think it feels like a large mouth bass lip just with force added when you get bit

[TandTfishpro]

he is but they got teeth in their mouths 2 i cant believe im the only person in the world who takes time 2 observe oscars hav teeth & they got alot more than 3 in their mouths the got a whole row on top & bottom u can see them ecspecaily on a BIG oscar the bigger they are the more u see the teeth when their smaller their big lips hide them

[ADIOfan8]

You may think your the only one who observes them but your not.

[californiahalibut]

yeah one time my oscar jumped out of my tank,he doesnt do it anymore he learned his lesson

[seanybaby33]

your lucky u can leave ure top of ure tank open my oscar just jumps esspecially when u hesistate with food couple of times hes misjudged and come right out

[sandman503]

i had an oscar bigger than this and it used to bite me all the time, it didnt hurt at all.

[Nerwik]

you're SO COOL !

[BazLazarus80]

My Oscars do the same thing to me, naughty fish indeed.

[IXxFIREMOUTHxXI]

how big is th3 tank and the oscars????

[Penn1969]

The tank is 125 gallons. I have 2 Eheim 2028 filters running on each end of the tank. The Oscars are approximately 9 inches in length. I have four clown Loach as well, two of them are 7 inches, the other two are around 4 inches.

[mooret86]

What size tank is that. how big are your oscars. how often do you feed them. What do you feed them.

[ogrishTWO]

Sure they have little teeth on thier lips and tongue but get your finger in the crop you will know all about it. They can take the end of your finger off.

[nammie05]

i would smacked that fish nawty FISHIE!!!!!!

[cleancutamerican]

Nice loach. It's huge!

[McJiZzLo]

You have one grand Oscar on your hands miss.

[jangoironic]

really??its easy to siphon?

[jangoironic]

is it hard to clean with them fine sand?

[Penn1969]

Easier than gravel

[navininsat]

Really nice.

[austin624]

love your oscars and thats abeutyfulltank

[kodyharris]

i bought an oscar fish about 2 weeks ago, but i only have a 20 gallon tank :(, and the thing ate my guppies! >:(, but its so cute! i dont want to get rid of it, and i love when it nibbles on my finger, i think i'll have to stop letting it nibble my finger pretty soon if it gets that big XD

[lukecurtis1444]

way to small of a tank, it will need a 75 gallon

[zaracki92]

a 55 gallon will do fine

[00Warlock19]

loving the oscars ive been bitten once lol didnt draw blood tho keep it up love the site man.

[winterbower1]

note to self: I hate brits

[Penn1969]

note to self: I hate long haired heavy metal loving REDNECKS

[alistrotzel]

Well said mate

[jshelby861]

hey whats wrong with REDNECKS?

[Penn1969]

how long have you got?

[mapes4]

Rednecks dont typically like heavy metal. Just so ya know.

[chrsbk88]

I have a 50 Gall. I used to have a good sized Oscar but I had to get rid of it. I want a 100-300 gallon someday.

[tbgman25]

Beautiful tank. What size is it? I have a 70 gallon with Jack Dempsey cichlids,. I love Oscar fish too. I couldn't help noticing your clown loach, he is HUGE! I've never seen them larger than 5 or 6 inches.

[zombiekid16]

Thats a bloody nice tank, and some beatiful fish you have there sir (:

[xFLEAxx]

crazy fish man

check mine out

[Penn1969]

ugly boring fish? Ugly......... may be, boring, absolutely not. If you want something that's boring, get yourself a tank full of tetras

[zaracki92]

actually...who said its ugly?? its not ugly or boring...none of the fishes are, if u own it.

[rickybobby189]

I agree oscar's arent ugly at all. They are actually pretty cute. Especially veil tails! :p

[aaron3009]

It is blood ya WANKER

[invader545]

"He has sharp teeth" ORLY!?!

[drunkandstupid666]

nice tank nice fish to i have just got a albino oscar

[jsthgrt]

are they teeth or like sharp bones? cuz my oscar always opens his mouth wide and i never seen any lol...but he did shred a fish before and spit it out for some reason

[Cirux321]

Oscars like many other cichlids/fish have abrasive gums. When a oscar bites you it feels like your finger got raked with sandpaper. Oscars bite hard and sometimes it can draw blood. If you look very closely you can see what looks like micro teeth. These are used for biting and holding their food in their mouths. African Malawi cichlids use them to scrape algae from rocks as well. Their *real* teeth are sharp bones in the back of their mouths along the inside of the gills. Thats what shreds food.

[jsthgrt]

oscars dont have teeth by the way

[Penn1969]

Oscars do have teeth in their throat. they don't have traditional teeth in their mouths,like piranha for instance, but they have very rough edges to their mouths which is why they can draw blood

[FinalExtinction]

She didnt do it on purpose it jus wants the food mine does it all the time when i feed him.

[infinitenephew]

sellin pair of oscars

[29fgm29]

how much? size?

[WhaatTheProductions]

[shaethedrummer]

Hey I have a oscar! those are great looking oscars and you keep your tank very clean!!

[kkunzler]

zaracki92, that'll work for a while, but eventually they're going to get huge. I had 2 in 35 gallon, and now I need to get a bigger tank for just one of em

[ipodkiller6]

ugh freshwater fish -.-

[Ren728]

thats nothing compared to when i got bit by my red devil[rip]it ripped my skin off off my hand and took about 2 weeks to hill

[AquaExpert]

could i keep 2 oscars in a 55 gallon tank plz message me with answer?

[GThiele113]

no. you cant

[zaracki92]

i hav three oscars in a 29 gallon aquarium. they r totally fine and its been about five months since i bought them

[dean30bb]

umm mate ur oscars cant be fine in a 29 gallon tank WTF they grow to be 30cm to 45 cm have fun when they get fully grown dick head

[zaracki92]

eheheh, actually i dont hav any oscars but i'm gonna buy some :P will three oscars be fine in a 120 gallon tank??(i just like provoking people with "fishes i own")

[dean30bb]

ya ok then man

but ya theyll be fine in a 120 gallon

[zaracki92]

alright thx....i got a 180g tank. so i'm gonna put three oscars and some pacus in there . and this time i'm not kidding ^_^

[rickybobby189]

You cant keep three oscars in a 29 gallon. You cant even keep one oscar in a 29 gallon. You need at least a 55 gallon for one. They get to be HUGE. Do some research before you buy animals, that way you wont kill them

[zaracki92]

are you talking to me? i guess i already answered tht...pls read everything before replying someone

[rickybobby189]

Sorry i didnt read anything, I posted without looking. Sorry for being an asshole, lol! I guess i just over react because there are people out there who dont do research about their pets, and dont give them good homes. Especially with fish. Good for you for getting a big tank for them!

[zaracki92]

its ok....i've done tht a lot too :P yea i kno some people who really abuse their fish :P

[PoeTrY91]

u can have one in a 55 but if you want 2 then only the 2 oscars can be in inside the tank and nothing else.

[Penn1969]

WHOLE SHRIMP

[ILLYOUNGS]

Penn What is the white thing she feeds them? When she lets go it starts swiming!

[Penn1969]

clown loach make great tank buddies. if you don't mind mixing fish from different parts of the world. just remember they grow very slowly

[oscarfish38]

Was that a giant clown loach that appeared earler on? Hows that get on with the big guys ?

[tashiana1997]

lol once i fed caterpillars to oscars lol it was fun especially 4 the fact i think they were poiseanus

[fspilot92]

Those are huge oscars!

[Volitanslion]

That is the biggest Clownloach i have ever seen!

[pghHunter]

my oscar i hd for 1 week jumped out of the water and bit me to. those are smart fish.

[mesomorph256]

hahaha this is funny. not a big injury though, it is much worse to be bit by a pike.

[kgj10]

i never stick my hand in the tank

[drivepro]

Now they've developed a taste for human flesh.

[00Kakashi00]

I use to feed the oscars this stick food and held it a certain way so that they could grab it out of my fingers

[habitrail11]

When you bite the hand that feeds.....

[SPACEDMADNESS42]

LOL, I love Oscars, there so funny, reminds me of mine.

[cruse13]

thats what happened to my mom when i was gone and she had to feed my oscars

[tumbler591]

[jimmybobcirclepants]

i know everything i need to know.

[maynardwix]

thats why your tank is a 20 gallon and looks dirty, but ask you if you want info on oscars, lol

[jimmybobcirclepants]

info on how to ship my oscar.

[squishrobinson]

My oscars nip me all the time, usually when they're really hungry or excited. Doesn't really hurt, and I'd hope it wouldn't discourage anyone from hand feeding them. They're just like dogs:)

[sickoftakennames]

Man! Those are some big oscars, and that one bit you hard!

[paaramedic]

Oh pull your head out of your ass your going to choke you moron.

[Penn1969]

[boldero66]

[bigdoglildog1]

and btw i had like 20 ghost shrimp in my tank with my oscars and the fish store guy said the oscars wouldnt bother them and the next day...all the ghost shrimp were gone...did they die or do oscars mess with them??????

[Penn1969]

Putting shrimp in with Oscars would be tantamount to putting a medium rare fillet steak and chips on a plate in front of me, it wouldn't be there very long

[bigdoglildog1]

lol..ok thx

[bigdoglildog1]

Whats that stripped fish in there?

[Penn1969]

clown loach

LOL
