Nice growth in your fish!!! Bye the way just a lil thing i noticed i have the same cascade heater. The clips are suppose to be above the heating element. or it could result in it breaking and not working properly i noticed one of the clips is on the bottom!! Just figured id give the heads up! not trying to be a jerk! he looks very happy and healthy very active!!!
@CHIMMER100 ya know whats funny. I just got one from petsmart that was in bad condition when i got him! Now he is doing AMAZING! i swear you would think its a business and they have employees to do work like take care of their fish etc.... they dont care. Im glad you saved another O:)
Lol @timspartan are you on crack? You have an 800 gal aquarium? 75 is more than good enough for one, you could have like 50 in an 800! I seriously doubt you have an aquarium that big because if you did you would have enough aquarium experience to know how big aquarium you need for an Oscar.
When hes a baby like this size could I keep one in a 75 gallon? But Then when he gets bigger upgrade him to a 800 gallon tank? Or would that be to small? Also could I keep clown loaches with him in the 75 gallon?
@Timespartan111 waterchanges keep up water quality, the real issue is the fishes size surpassing the classic 1 oscar to a 55gallon 'rule'. kind of reminds me of the inch/gallon rule, absolute garbage. a 55 is narrow, oscars often outgrow the 12" (if memory serves) width. with something like a 75, the width is about 24", i would much rather see two O's in a 75 then one in a 55. It should be happy with clown loaches if you get about 3. They usually only grow 6-7" IME.
how has he grown so much, i have a 33 gallon tank which is 3 foot and he hasnt grown that much, i have a filter upto 125 gallons too and i feed lots of food? look on my videos for my oscar hes grown very little in the past 4 months
wtf..... I've had mine for like 5 months now, they're not near as big as yours in 3 months. I feed them regularly, they have pellets, crayfish, even bacon once... They grow soo slow.
holy cow i was wondering how fast they would grow now i know what i have to look forward to cause mine is the size of yours at the begging of the video
i had two albino oscars for 6 months then they both died with in a day of each other with no sihn of infections etc and done every thing properly. i have no idea why they both died
thanks for the info, but do you think that my 60 will be enough for a jack dempsey and a tiger? The dempsey is slightly bigger and harasses him already. So I'm inclined to believe that it's not going to pan out.. lol.
@TandTfishpro in less than a month my baby tiger oscar doubled over doubled in size. I was at the shop last week and I think it could eat its siblings! I have cut down on the food, but that does not seem to stop him! I need my 55 gal tank up an running asap!
@retic257 try finding a local Big Als or any asian fish store. Most of the fish at the asian places are in better condition, have better colourization/patterning and cost about a few bucks less but it depends.
mines just a little bit bigger but always hungry like ill just feed him a bunch of goldfish then shell act like shes gonna explode then i leave the room for not evan 5 minutes then come back and she acts like shes never eaten for her whole entire life its kinda funny then i wont feed her and sheel be all sad lol i dont wat her 2 die though
what did you feed him on to make him grow that fast wow he is big great video buy the way yours john from leicester i have a tiger oscar he is only about 1 to 2 inches at the mo
thank you so much, i have left the lights off for at least a day already and he is now swimming around and eating, but he is still scared when i turn on the lights. but i guess ill just let him keep getting used to it.
i just got my tiger oscar today, and he was really nice and black at the petshop, but when i introduced him to my tank he turned pale and lays at the bottom, but when i turn off the lights he is back to normal and moves around alittle, but as i turn the lights back on he lays there still, and turns really pale, can someone please tell me what is wrong?
Hi my friend, you have just made a small mistake, when you buy a new fish, the lights of the aquarium leave it on or off for at least 1 day ,,, because the fish is afraid at the first time, and if you turn on or off the light you are surely not helping. Let him esplore the new habitat and during cleaning the aquarium try not to move the decorations ecc , because the oscar will not feel at home :) ,,
Both of my oscars did the same thing except they only "played dead" when I approached the tank. Now (3 days later) they beg for food and bite my finger if I leave it there too long lol. I love their personality and they don't beat up my Jack Dempseys :-)
nice tiger oscar dude i just got mine bout a month and a half ago he dont get along very well with my pair of convict cichlids though i just uploaded a fight between them check it out
Very original video and helpful too for those noobs who buy a baby oscar and put them in a gallon tank thinking the oscar will be ok. This shows 20 gallon is minimum for a long lasting fish.
Yes man,, it grows that fast !.. I just make frequent water change,, most importan thing.. but now it stops growing since i have a small tank.. Hope to make one next winter,,
Dude that's insane...do they really grow that fast? i always thought it took at least a year to get that size. How did you get him to grow that fast??...anyways that's an AMAZING growth...please check mine out and comment it.
Nice fish on here. Where did you get your fish from, i have a 55 gallon tank all set up but cant find a prize fish to put it in. Where should i get one from the pet stores in memphis have the ugliest fish ever?
This is good news to me. Since I catch them in the Everglades where there is more food, they should grow quickly. My biggest is 12 inches. Look @ the video reply of how I catch them.
I like the timeline so everyone can see how fast these monsters grow! Oscars have to be the fastest growing large cichlid out there! I once put a baby in a 29gl thinking it wouldn't outgrow it for years... 1yr later I was buying a 55gl for it and ended up having to trade it in for some smaller cichlids!
