Tiger Oscar

[thebadblue123]

oscars are my favorite fish of all time

[tomtgael]

try some dither fish - like giant danios or rosey barbs etc and a few plants - plastic with an oscar - and some bog wood

[Rtz321]

How big is your tank?

[Zomgers408]

Y u got that jack dempsey in there... -.-"

[TheFishDude2613]

nice fish but very dull and boreing 2/3*'s

[SonikBlu23]

how are those two getting along?

[heruugaaYourPRETTY96]

They are both Cichlids! o__O

[Troc0024]

Hey I got an oscar a month ago and its in a 25 gallon tank but he is only 5 in long but eventually I'm going to put him in a 55 gallon tank but that is not my problem I have a air pump, perfect temp, perfect ph, plants, a filter, and a light. My problem is that I've had this fish for a month and everytime he sees me in the room he goes straight to the bottom and plays dead what can I do for him to stop that?

[tayl8100]

oscars are notorious for "pouting"  they do this when they get upset about anything really. it could be you added a new fish to you moved a plant and they didnt like it. I have 2 tiger oscars and if i so much as put my hand in to adjust a plant, they both get very pissy and will lay at the bottom and pout about it. dont worry, its normal

[ltsplaylacrosseX19X]

hrmm try hand feeding? or by using tongs or something?

[sonicnarutolover]

as much as i HATE oscars i have to say they are smart.maybe it hates you.maybe its just shy and needs to adjust to its new enviroment because its still in shock

[Chaz233]

hhaha

[dadecountyalan]

hey every body check my oscars out and tell me if they have enough space

[slick506]

If these are how most oscars are, mine must have been mentally challenged..it alwasy used to dart really fast into the glass..

[RAmenFSM]

Why don't you post videos anymore?

[oooowwwwdddd]

That Oscar is gorgious!

What's her name?

[CVEC5]

Nice colour on this oscar. One of the best i ever seen.

[RicMoss87]

mint lukin fish

[cleancutamerican]

Beautiful fish. Nice clean tank! 5 Stars

[aj3071]

mine are like half that size

[queeenfish]

strange fish

[Fagget666]

Nice colours :)

[jorgendei12]

haha I had a oscar like that and it eat all my fhish:P it was like 1000 cash in fish dere:P

[OmgItsAnAzn]

Wow nice tiger oscar got bright colours for some reson my tiger oscar keeps pooping any tips why T_T

[2004exrider]

get used to it, they're poop machines.

[cottoncandyisyummy]

feed it stuff with carotene like shrimp to bring out the orange

idk y its pooping

[eastoff1]

nice fish keep feeding him good stuff with color enhancer and when he gets really big he will still be really colorfu

[Swiftfox93]

That is a beautiful Fish!!!

[kentran042392]

is it true that fish only grow as big as the surrounding? or is that only for goldfish?

do tank demension effect on how many fish i could keep? lets say i get a 120 gal hexagon tank (you know those tall long ones?)could that tank still be able to hold 2 oscars or not?

[redtailedblackshark]

you would definantly be able to have two oscars! you could have many others too. cool interesting fish that you would probably like are bichirs, iridescent/paroon shark, and other ciclids.

[2008nezza2008]

yeah thats tru but onli if bought from very very young

[agram1990]

wow, you really have a nice fish!

[PoeTrY91]

i think a 55 is good for one big Oscar only one and no other tank mates.

[Nergock]

That's a gorgeous tiger oscar.

[RAmenFSM]

I have a 30 gallon tank, could I get 2 small oscars for it?

[Cirux321]

30g way too small for even one oscar, much less two. Oscars grow very rapidly if well fed and can outgrow a 55g tank in 1 to 2 years.

[mahoney260]

i dont know if that is true... i have two osacars,firemouth,jack,convict­,gourami,bubble bee cichlid, and a green terror on my 30 gallon

[ourfishies]

min 55 g for an oscar and plus 15 g for each additional one. 30 g is really way too small for that many fish.

[MrManiacal2169]

WOW... Mines doing fine in a 20 gallon. Its 6 inches now and its doing great.

[zaracki92]

so many can i hav in a 180g if i keep them for their whole life?

[zaracki92]

so many can i hav in a 180g if i keep them for their whole life?

[Cirux321]

Zaracki in a US 180gal tank you can easily have 4 to 6 (easier to manage in pairs) full grown Oscars. Of course you'd still want good filtration simply because Oscars are messy little shits. But a 180gal tank is pretty dang big.

[kentran042392]

i agree with you. i have kept oscars in a 10 gallon tank and they did fine. it just outgrew it and i just sold it. my friend had 1 in a 10 gal that it lived for almost 12 years!

[Nathrron]

the only problem with that is that oscars dont stay small they grow very fast

[sharinganx12]

Rocks! (all i could say..)

[originalwilly]

damn that's a handsome Oscar

[stewy098]

how many gallons is that

[ourfishies]

110

[xmanj2]

how old where they before they reached there large size

[ourfishies]

~4 yrs and she's still growing.

[jeff61]

Hi, nice looking Oscar. How big is it as its hard to gauge.

[angeli7]

i got a question...if you had a female tiger oscar, will it lay eggs, even tho a male isn't around...like shooting blanks?

[ourfishies]

yes

[angeli7]

so i must have a male tiger oscar...yeah...

[sickoftakennames]

I had a Tiger Oscar die on me this morning! >=( I've had it for about two weeks or so, and then it suddenly stopped eating for a few days, and died this morning.

[GreeDDeviL]

ur oscar look very cool !u let him eat what ?

[knowscar]

Nice Oscar

[angeli7]

how do you know its a female?

[ourfishies]

She laid eggs couple of times.

[angeli7]

so the female will shoot like blank eggs out, even though there is no male around?

[farzaash]

hay how to enhance the colors of oscars .... bcoz ur one is red and mine is towards on orangish shade ... any suggestions

[ourfishies]

Yours is a Red Oscar, mine is a Tiger Oscar. That's why the coloring is different.

[chasebeyeler]

veryyyy nice tank and do jack dempckseys eat live fish???my doesnt..

[ourfishies]

I don't feed mine live fish. Feeder fish has no nutritional value and the fish can get sick.

[sakabatouANDtesseiga]

you are correct, especially goldfish, they are coldwater so high in fat ... will give your O fatty liver disease. Mollies aren't so bad, but pellets should always be the main diet, and most treats you buy at the store are infused with multi-vitamins!

[LittleSisOne]

Well taken care of, the fish has a nice color. Boy what a rough life it has Haa Haa ! I was into raising large fish once, you pretty much have to act as mother nature to keep them healthy. You have a very beautiful tank. The water is so crystal clear, what type of filtration do you use ? Did you raise it from a baby ?

[ourfishies]

I use two Emperor 400's for filtration, and a Aquaclear 802 powerhead for surface agitation and water movement in the tank. Yes, when I bought her, she was like 1 inch. It's been almost 4 years.
