    Oscar and Tiger Barbs.

    Would a full grown Oscar and full grown Tiger Barbs go together? I have a 7' x 2' x 2' 200 gallon. I was looking into a chocolate cichlid for a tankmate for my Parrot, but I was wondering if there was anything else that I may want to choose between before I buy.

    Filtration for one Oscar

    I have a new 75 gallon tank. It's already cycled and is running an aquaclear 110. Is that filtration enough for just one full grown Oscar?

    Oscar with some-what severe fin injuries

    I came home today and looked at my oscar. His fins are destroyed. His tail is chopped in half. So it looks like a way thicker version of a swordtail. I would like to know if it will heal or be scared.
