It has worked for me in the past, as long as the Cons have somewhere to hide. Plus my Oscar prevented them from successfully breeding, which is a good thing.
Well he weighed 3.5 lbs and was around 15" long, possibly HITH but I am not sure. He was always healthy and hearty but I noticed pits on his head getting worse this year and he just stopped eating for the last week or so. We'll miss him.
My cat Loki loves messin with Oscar and company. He used to have a nasty habit of laying on top of the glass covers above this tank until one day he fell in and lucky for him my girlfriend was home and saved his dumb ass from drowning!!!:screwy:
My 14-15 inch Oscar that came with this tank when I purcharsed it. He was a little smaller when we got him with only a large common pleco for a partner, so my girlfriend wanted to get him a tank mate, a small young Oscar. When we got home we learned that Oscar here ate himself a $10...
75 fish here. Convicts, Oscar, Flowerhorn, 2 Red Devils, 2 Jack Dempsey, various plecos, gentle tanks with Tetras, Red Swordtails, various cories, and various african cichlids.
