will u make an update on either of them please how big r they

[TomEA79]

@superfishman123 The Dovii's i gave to a friend of mine who have 35+ big aquariums in his basement, and it has grown quite a bit and they had many babis in the periode after they were given away. As i only have 4 aquariums i didn't want to occupy the biggest of them for two fishes alone. As for the Midas the male killed his female when they were breeding and i have tried to give him a new female, but not successfully so far.

Nice oscar fish at 0:46 do you know if i could put a big one like that into a tank of two pirahna's without it being killed? because i love oscar fish but i don't think i want to buy another big tank just for it

[TomEA79]

@coldsun29 Oscars live in South America in many of the same rivers as Piranha's so this is no problem. I have had friends who have had cichlids together with the Piranha's, but often it is the cichlids who kill the Piranha's and not the other way around. The Piranha's are hungry, but usually not as aggressive as cichlids.

lol with tank full of beasts, how often do you find dead fish ?:P

[TomEA79]

@MXZCharlie Never - as the Dovi eat the fishes that he kills. The leftovers i never see, maybe the Pleco's or the other fishes take the rest.

How much room will I need for those eight fish? (Tank size).

[Soulzarath1]

I want to get eight cichlids...

Two Wolf Cichlids

Two Bluntheads (lol)

Two Black Rutunga's

And two Electric Blue Jack Dempseys.

Wow that song is annoying

[moormandrm]

battle of the universe

[vinniedurrant]

throw a bumblebee grouper in there and the midas's reputation would dwindle befoere your eyes.

[TheFoulblood]

@coldsun29 im not sure if thats a good idea because even though its a strong agressive fish if a pirahna got mad the oscar just doesnt have the teeth to protect itself long enough for you to know if they bond toghether

[Mrfish4life1]

@SikPlumber the red devil has a much stronger jaw than and oscar and sharper teeth it would rip the oscar to shreds. i like oscars much more than the midas and i have one but it would get taken apart by the midas. Wolf cichlids can reach up t 18" and are mean ass hell so a oscar that is lucky to reach 14" would die in the first fight. ur fish dont fight bc they were raised together

[SikPlumber]

@Mrfish4life1 haha no way they are heaps tank those 2 fish look shit as. my oscar would eat that orange fish his mouth is like triple its mouth size. my fish dont fight tho? they've been in the same tank for ages and dont fight at all

[Mrfish4life1]

@SikPlumber both of ur fish would die.. even as adults ur fish wouldnt have a chance

[SikPlumber]

@Mrfish4life1 mate i got a tiger oscar and a jack dempsy for $8 as babies i recon they would man handle these to bitchass fish
