My Tank Setup

One of my favorite fish eaten!


just like the tittle states! when i stocked my tank i had 2 oscars and 2 clown loaches. well when i got them the size of the loaches compared to the oscars weren't very different. well i guess i didn't anticipate for the oscars rate of growth and my red oscar ate one of my loaches. i am deeply hurt as i love my loaches but nope gone just like that!

lesson learned anticipate for the future, not what is the here and now! i'm still regretting it!

My Tank Setup


after i found out he was eating one i jumped to the rescue and removed my other one, but i wish i could have moved 2... im thinking i might get some more loaches for him as i know they are grouping fish.

Yeah, the same happened to one of my 6 bar loach, but i think thats because it was sick. My other loach is far to quick for the oscar to catch it.

My Tank Setup


well i noticed one was missing the other night so i got curious and starting looking around my tank. after a while i came to the conclusion that he worked himself down into a plant and was out of eye sight. later that night my brother said "when did you get feeders?" and i looked up to see a tail sticking out of the oscars mouth. i got him to spit it out, but i was to late.

And thanks to all who replied. i appreciate it.
