oh, and when the oscar gets older hes being moved out of the tank, i know hes going to be a nuisance down the road. he will be gone probably within the next 3 months.
i have a fairly large (by comparison) tiger oscar in my tank. with bala sharks and other fish smaller than him. before you flip shit on me, go look at the video i have on here, you can see they all live peacefully together. this is possible due to TANK DESIGN. this guys problem is that the smaller fish dont have small spaces they can go to get away. my tank is zoned. his is very open. only the rosy reds get eaten.
p.s. i dont recommend putting them in a community tank, just saying its possible
oscars are assholes. lol. they'll eat any fish that will fit in their mouth. actually wait, if the whole fish don't fit, they'll just eat their head first.
lol you have 2 convicts in there XD Really cute fish, I just bought a 4" Tiger oscar who I'm trying to teach to eat out of my hand without biting me fingers on accident
@copperchan i used to hav a tiger oscar. at first he was the size of a quarter wen i got him but then he grew to be the size of a fully grown koi fish. thts rlly big! but he started to naturally eat out of my hand wen he was about 3-4 years old. he used to nibble on my finger. good luck with ur tiger oscar!
@foodluver723 Thanks :D I got mine to eat some cichlids pellets out of my hand 2 days ago, I think it helps because his tank mates are already so tame :) He also doesn't mind my hand at all, he swims by and lets me touch him.
nice tank bro.. people dont realize that the oscars wont be able to eat everything in that tank cuz they all get fucking big to like tin foil barbs can reach 12 inches.. only thing that wil probly get eaten tho are the tiger barbs
Oscar don't belong in community tanks or tanks under 55 gallons minimum. When they grow (and they will) they'll wipe out that entire tanks if you don't keep them well fed.
i know the general conception about putting tiger barbs in with Oscars is a bad idea...But in some cases if you have a big enough group of barbs in there when the Oscar is small the Oscar will see the group as one big fish and leave them alone for the most part..you might see 1 or 2 picked off here and there but it should be o.k.( Ive seen a mature tank with 2 Oscars and a school of barbs living together happily )
tiger barbs got a lot of heart, they can live in any tank in any condition. but...when you put them with fish such as oscars, they will be outgrown and then eventually inside a belly haha
people need to stop bitching about other peoples aquariums. Let them do as they please. The fish look healthy, and oscars eating other fish isnt bad for the fish, its life. big fish eats little fish. I hate everyone constantly having to put their two cents into everything anyone does. Theres a difference between advice, and criticism. I am positive that this person doesnt care if you dislike their tank. Stop being so critical. But you think youre big shit because some people give you thumbs up.
@KrisClayHughes Thx for your extended worthless rant, moron. Yeah, it is life...in the WILD! This is a controlled environment. There is a little thing called responsibility. When you and the OP mature some, you might develop a little bit.
those Oscars are going to FUCKING KILL ALL THOSE FISH IDIOT~! Well unless you just got piles of cash laying around for $4-$7 a pop Oscar fish food then right on man
rbgt i will have to agree wit u kid, i got to oscars that are 9 inch plus in wit barbs angel fish convict bala shark red zebra 2 green terrors male/female spotted catfish electric yellows m/f red top and 2 red terrors on the way wit 2 rainbow sharks and a redtail shark
i get agrevated about people saying certain fish aren't compatable i have jaguar cichlids with my mollies and convicts and they all get along i haven't had no problems yes some fish aren't compatible but fish are kinda like us they all have their own temperments. the have been together for a year now and no problems.
as a general rule...if you want to add more fish to a tank that already has fish in it, don't buy fish that can fit in the other fish's mouth. Because more than likely, that's where you'll find the new fish!
Also, it is wise to research the fish as some fish are more aggressive than others and although the other fish may not be small enough to fit in the other fish's mouth, the other fish can and will still attack the other fish of larger or similar size.
i have same size tank but my tank is a bit bigger than your from botton to top is massive and the left to right is sam as your but i devided into 2 as i have tiger oscar (3) 2 female 1 male . and piranha (4) but babys 3 female 1 male
@lordlong Tiger Barbs and Giant Danios are some of the best non-cichlid tank mates you can get for an Oscar. You just have to take a chance and hopefully the Oscar won't devour them.
Omg! I bought about a 3 inch rainbow fish to go with my 4" ish oscar and he pecked him but they live toghether fine now. look at my video thats recent.
you need to change your tank otherwise your going to have to cure your oscars alot when they are bigger. Oscars are very clumbsy and those sharp rocks will definately come back to bite you on the ass
That sucks. Rainbow Sharks are a beautiful and cool fish. You gotta add a bigger one that doesn't fit in it's mouth. You're gonna want to get one that's about the same length as the oscar when introducing. No smaller. They will fend for themselves like the Red Tailed Shark. I wouldn't add the Black Shark, it would probably kick the crap out of the Oscar. I've heard of large Black Sharks kill large Cichlids before.
well the tiger barbs should be fine for now, due to all the room they have in there, but i agree with granderfights that they will get eatin in a period of time when the oscars get bigger,
but very nice tank, im liking the size. how many gal is thaT?
For fucks sake people, do some research before You start shoving fish that don't belong together, in the same tank. It's as simple as typing in google, fucking hell.
@Rampage2k9 I've seen plenty of Oscars coexist with Rainbow Sharks, Tiger Barbs, and other smaller fish. Oscars have personalities of their own. Some of them can coexist with other smaller fish, some of them can't.
dude, oscars are very agressive, put it with cichlids cuz it's gonna suck up the rest of your fish liike noodles when it's older (no joke, they actually suck them up like noodles XD)
Nice fish, my Oscar look nothing like that... All those people saying the fish will be dead, true but if he gets that convict to pair up with a mate the Oscar's gonna get killed if he messes with them.
I had a tank full of HUGE gold fish and I bought two baby Oscars hoping my mom would get me a 50 gal tank to keep them in, and before she could the Oscars ate all my fish! I mean these gold fish were 15 time their size and they killed and ate them!
That's why you are supposed to actually do some research on each fish before filling your tank up with a random assortment of incompatible fish. And if the tank is still set up like that, you need to take the shells and dead coral out, they raise the pH and hardness of the water, which can cause health problems in fish that are native to soft, slightly acidic water like all of your fish are.
How many more fish did your Oscars enjoy? I have in my 6 foot x 1.5 foot x 2 foot (135 US Gallons): 2, 11+" Oscars, 11" common Pleco, 5 Clown Loaches, 3 Bala Sharks, 1, 4" Red Tail Catfish, 5 Spotted Pictus Catfish, 1 Rainbow shark.
@mynameisbannable I hope you have a 1000+ gallon aquarium/pond ready for the RTC because it will need it once it is over 3' long, within the next 3-4 years. And be prepared to lose everything except the pleco and the oscars if you plan on keeping the RTC in there for over 4 months.
Why waste a tank that large on oscars? Get some Victorians or Malawis. Now those are some nice fish. Plus you can have high numbers of the colorful fish!
@FishingKing754 people have diffrent taste, i would get cichlids, that my opinon. He bought 2 oscars which when they grow bigger they will look very pretty, expreccially those tiger oscars. Its not a "waste" when u put a oscar in it.
@FishingKing754 No, not really. You said few people are dedicated enough to raise oscars, I said few people are responsible enough to own aquariums in general, because in my opinion, if one is not responsible enough to keep their fish for their entire lives, then they should not own fish in the first place. I added to your comment, I didn't rephrase it. ;)
One of the things I like about the tank set-up is that you obviously thought things through - meaning that the tank is big enough for when the oscars get big, which I'm sure they are now. Beautiful tank btw.
haha all of those fish will be devoured by those oscars u should add some arowana or red devil mabey a floer horn add bigger fish even a pacu that would make that tank look amazing
very nice tank man i got a 55 gal tank with the whole set up stand decorations rocks heaters filter air pump head light and the fish only $75 on craigs list i guess i was lucky but right now all i have in the tank are an oscar 2 jacks a firemouth and a pink convict all at 3-4 " and under
Yeah man, cool but get some plants maybe. A background picture would look cool too. A lot better than a bunch or cords from the light, heater, and filter. :)
i tried puting 5 tiger barbs with a 6" needlenose, 6" senegal bichir, & 3 3"-4" id sharks. but the bichir went threw 7(i replaced 2)...nvr going to buy another fish that fits my bichir's mouth again
Your are soo thick!! you dont put tropical fish with 2 chiclid fish that ar very aggresive and later on when there much begger the well even start to attack each other and destroy evything in the tank.. Onest ive had them before.. JUst Some Advice matee
I have a tiger oscar thats about 1.5 year old and even when she was little, I couldn't put nothing with her. She did well with a plecos for awhile til the plecos got sick of her shit lol. Now its just her. She is just over a foot long in length and is handfed.
could i add a school of about 7 tiger barbs in a 125 gallon with some large bichirs, knife fish, oscar, archer fish, severum cichlids? i have fed them rosy reds a few times, but would tiger barbs be to fast to be eaten? or would the school of them have an effect on them? Thanks
u don't the bigger one will just keep picking on him utill it gets his size when there grown if he don't kill him before then i had to separate mine till they go to be about the same size
Oscars can be really territorial to fish that they didn't grow up with, especially other Oscars and chiclids. Hope your little one grows fast...other wise he might end up being dinner.
@mrhepden I think it depends on the individual fish. I have an albino oscar and a red oscar. And the red oscar is about 1/3 the size of the albino and they are buddy buddy all the time.
@granderfights LOL! Not even that long. I thought it was funny when he started introducing the fish other than the Oscars. I thought to myself, "Why do that? They'll have moved on to the next life in a few months!" :)
Great tank though. Have you thought about putting some decorations in the tank or a background on the back of the tank so you don't see the cords and wall?
I have a tiger barb in with my oscar too lol. I was tired of the barb because he was picking on the other barbs so I threw him in for oscar food but my oscar never ate him. I think they're kind of friends because my oscar eats everything else but not that little tiger barb haha.
i got tigerbarbs the other day and there not nearly as ornge as yours how do u do that do u use somes thing and i have 4 of them should i get more? thx
@empiredboy7 How big is your tank? I am looking at oscars. i am planning on getting a 55-75 gallon fish tank. with a senegal Bichir and possibly a green sevrum?
haha nice man im just about to put my rainbow shark back in with my new oscar i lent my shark to a m8 because my convict cichlids where breeding and he was hassling them, will be interesting to see how he goes after seeing yr oscar gobble ya shark up lol ill have the camera ready xD oh yeh i got 2 vids i just uploaded of my new oscar fighting my cichlid pair plz rate n comment!!
my oscar is 6inches atm, he doesnt eat the smaller fish at all, he chills with my bala shark, tinfoil barbs and my firemouth and german blue cichlids.
yes, technically you could keep it in a smaller tank you just have to keep changing the water A LOT but in a 55 gallon you just need regular 1 week 20 percent changes
oh, and when the oscar gets older hes being moved out of the tank, i know hes going to be a nuisance down the road. he will be gone probably within the next 3 months.

I have a tiger oscar thats about 1.5 year old and even when she was little, I couldn't put nothing with her. She did well with a plecos for awhile til the plecos got sick of her shit lol. Now its just her. She is just over a foot long in length and is handfed.

could i add a school of about 7 tiger barbs in a 125 gallon with some large bichirs, knife fish, oscar, archer fish, severum cichlids? i have fed them rosy reds a few times, but would tiger barbs be to fast to be eaten? or would the school of them have an effect on them? Thanks

mrhepden 2 years ago
u don't the bigger one will just keep picking on him utill it gets his size when there grown if he don't kill him before then i had to separate mine till they go to be about the same size
oney135 2 years ago
you can't. oscars are aggressive and have their own initiative. your best bet is to give one away or sell one, or to seperate them.

with 3 tablespoons of aquarium salt per 5 gallons of water and then move all the plants and stuf around.

Oscars can be really territorial to fish that they didn't grow up with, especially other Oscars and chiclids. Hope your little one grows fast...other wise he might end up being dinner.
BOBWAFFLES 2 years ago
@mrhepden I think it depends on the individual fish. I have an albino oscar and a red oscar. And the red oscar is about 1/3 the size of the albino and they are buddy buddy all the time.

@granderfights LOL! Not even that long. I thought it was funny when he started introducing the fish other than the Oscars. I thought to myself, "Why do that? They'll have moved on to the next life in a few months!" :)
Great tank though. Have you thought about putting some decorations in the tank or a background on the back of the tank so you don't see the cords and wall?

I have a tiger barb in with my oscar too lol. I was tired of the barb because he was picking on the other barbs so I threw him in for oscar food but my oscar never ate him. I think they're kind of friends because my oscar eats everything else but not that little tiger barb haha.

yes, technically you could keep it in a smaller tank you just have to keep changing the water A LOT but in a 55 gallon you just need regular 1 week 20 percent changes
