Large Oscar Pics!

This guy was a moose. I would not keep an Oscar in a 4' tank again. They have an almost supernatural ability to produce nitrates.










This is the biggest Oscar I've ever seen. That's a 75 gallon, which means the fish was about 18".

Oscars tall thick fish, body mass=bio load. need at least 75g per oscar. IMHO.

Yeah, I thought flowerhorns and JDs were bad; they're nothing when compared to an Oscar's filtration/water change needs.

That would scare the hell out of me if that happened to me; and this is common behavior for them?!

Oscars are the best! The most underrated aquarium fish hands down, simple because they are common. They are true aquatic pets. I even gave up my beloved Male Festae because he eventually was too hostile towards my tiger oscar.

Agree 100%!!! I've kept a vast variety of fresh and saltwater fish and none were more memorable, personable, or enjoyable as oscars and mbu. They are also beautiful and majestic fish when cruising around a tank. Too bad they are overlooked for being too common.

Here's mine, he died last weekend. He jumped out of his tank, he was 13" long.

Now that I'm seeing these bumblebee oscars I'm wondering if one of mine isn't one of them. He was labeled as a wild type Oscar and the other in the pic is a Tiger. Is mine considered a bumblebee because it kinda looks a lot like one.Im sure you can pick out the one in question.

Im thinking its a bb cant really tell from the pics but bb's have longer fins than reg O's also have only what I can describe as freckles by the chin and gill plates. Try and get clearer pics. Also imo that lime green/yellow coloration of the bars would be a bb trait. He looks exactly like mine when he is pissed off or scared turns almost lime green
