we discovered this and decided to do a short vid of it whilst I giggle hysterically.

why is this fish alone?

[sharpeiprincess]

because he'll kill any other fish that enters his tank

[brianvelasquez]

nice oscar! how bigs the tank

[sharpeiprincess]

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.

[Shanninsky]

Love it! He's beautiful!

[kevinfebuary]

@soulboundreaper it depends on the oscars they are all diffrent

@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.

@burzumaske20

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.

[burzumaske20]

@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.

[burzumaske20]

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.

[Mokey117]

@sharpeiprincess

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?

[jonno3600]

@sharpeiprincess unless u get another american cichlid the same size but preferably bigger than him like another oscar, they will be fine together
