Terribly sorry to hear about losing such a nice fish. I know how you feel, I had a pair of jack dempsey's chase my significantly larger salvani out of the tank! poor thing turned into a piece of jerky! And thats after they terminated the fire mouths! sometimes it's best to keep certain species apart or match aggressive characteristics.
I Officially Hate My Oscar

A large mouth bass should take care of that oscar because the bass is meaner. sorry for your loss.
I don't know about that, while they are predators they are not very aggresive towards fish they cannot eat. Of course, I cannot speak for all bass but I think the grand majority are not all that aggresive. Most oscars aren't aggresive either when compaired to other cichlids.
Sorry for your losses. **** happens, especially when you mix aggresive fish together.
I had oscars and started to think they were quite boring after a couple years, anyway. LOL Just get rid of it now. Hehe.
They're not boring if you get them a few feeders every few days. . . train 'em like a pit bull
I quit giving mine feeders because I was too lazy to raise them myself and oscars get HITH easy enough as it is.
I don;t actually hate him anymore, I was just really upset at the loss. He has never been aggressive before, so I dont know what happened. I had to move the GT into a precycled10 gallon hospital tank, but there is over 50 gallons of filtration so he should be ok for a few days. I hope I can get my 125 set up asap.
I have over 26 different species of fish and have had others in the past, I don't see how oscars are anymore boreing than any other fish.
