Oscar waterflow

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Why not get something simple just to try it. Convicts and then if they breed what fun.
 
Female cons will still lay eggs together.

I think the sand is too bright and reflecting light that's making him skittish. Is it that bright white in person? I use pool filter silica sand which is tan. It lightens a lot when the tank lights reflect on it, but not to the point that it glows.

Also, the current shouldn't be so strong that it blows him around the tank, otherwise he'll try to stay in the upper or back parts of the tank to avoid the current.
 
Its pool filter sand silica, tan...it just looks bright due to my crappy camera

They may lay eggs but aggression will still be lower than a pair protecting fry. If cons don't float your boat go for firemouths or a bristle nose pleco and some small cichlid like fm or a con. Silver dollars would work as well. Just as long as it isn't more aggro than the Oscar and not small enough to fit in it's mouth. But I would add some more decor so he feels like he has more places to hide from predators. That tank looks kind of bare so that should help him feel more secure.

My Oscar leaves bottom dwellers alone entirely. I could probably put ottos in there. But for something fun, a school of giant danios is the way to go. Pretty, cheap, and good food competition to boot. Make a fine snack if he can catch one, and very easy on the bioload, even at 4".
