I am surprised your oscar will kill anything in the tank.I currently have a 55 gallon set up,with a Jack Dempsey,Green terror,Jaguar,Severum for a grow out tank.Also the Oscar is 7 inches while the other ones are smaller then him.They get along fine.
My oscars do pretty much the same thing. It's so funny to watch them chase the laser while my dog chases the dot reflected by the glass on the tank lol.
i feed my fish pellets and mainly tropical flakes but my oscar only eats the pellets, will he learn to like the flakes or wat can i do so he eats the flakes.
Nice can you please look at mine can leave me a comment estimating how long it will take it go get big please? i feed them hikari gold, HBH pellets, tropical flakes, and freeze dried bloodworms. They eat 2-3 times daily and i vacuum and change 25-50% of water weekly. thanks in advance.
He shouldn't, just anything that fits in his mouth he'll kill. Oscars are quite social with fish their size. Have you tried him with other big cichlids?
@Mokey117 that isn't true about whatever fits in the Oscar mouth.I have a 2 in half inch Green Terror,3 inch severum,4 inch jaguar,5 inch Jack Dempsey in the tank set up with my 7 inch Tiger Oscar.They all get along just fine,its based on their personality.
Yeah, you're quite right, it's just a general rule of thumb if you want to be safe. I've seen an Oscar living with tetras and it was fine, but most of them would eat those in a second.
@Mokey117 Its easier to get them to tolerate each other,by having them all at once,but I didn't do that,I waited about 2 to 3 months apart with all of them.Only time my Tiger Oscar decides to go aggressive in the tank is dragging the fake plants or moves the driftwood around at times.He barely attacks the glass actually from his reflection,so he pretty much knows its himself.Only fish he does chase is the JD,cause the JD came in thinking he could take over the tank.Puts him in check at times.
Wow he sure was goin ape over that laser light....mine like to nibble my fingers....one of these days, he's gonna try to swallow my pinkie but until then....
Love it! He's beautiful!
