silver aro and a oscar

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so you guys think the aro needs to be about a foot long befor he can be put it in with a 8inch oscar?
at least, maybe even a little bigger.
 
What makes you think your Oscar stays at 8"?

I have a an almost 2' black aro, but didn't take the risk of putting it with an adult Oscar yet. My aro lives peacefully with a pair of discus!
 
yeah i dunno about putting oscars and aros together. i tried it but the oscar just kept bothering the aro, biting at him and whatnot so they had to be separated. i would say maybe the only way it could work is if you have a large enough tank so that the oscar can still have its territory without it feeling like the aro is interfering.

I'm sure that would have a lot to do with it.
 
Oscars are bully fish, but they have the bully mentality. 9 times out of 10, when a fish fights back the oscar swims a proverbial mile.
