i have a baby oscar in a 20 gallon (i kno its small) for a month and now in a 55have 2 cat fish (up side down, and spotted rafael) 2 plecos one my friend and a clown loach they all seem fine but i was wondering should i crush the head of the meal worm so they dont eat its way out of the body?

@tebroski the oscar will chew the worm so its fine to feed them whole.

Lovin' the Oscar. I've got one with similar colors named King Midas. Badass fish. In my 100g tank, there are two oscars, a green terror, jack demsey, blue zebra, parrot fish, red emporess and some convicts. haha probably the worst combination of fish in one tank. When my oscars get the size of yours, there's gonna be problems lol.

You have no idea what the hell your talking about, this oscar is very healthy and has a pretty good diet. Get your facts, then start talking about fish "Nigga"

Beautiful fish, I just got two oscar cichlids in a 125 gal, any suggestions about tankmates or just information in general? They are both really shy and just hide behind the filter or decor...thanks
