    Is this spawning behavior?

    Recently moved the Oscars to a different 125 and these two started behaving differently. Also the dominant male seems to have changed and then the female (the rounder of the two shown) started twitching with this O. Just from anyone who has ever gotten Oscars to breed and is this typical sparing...

    Are these oscars sick?

    I have no idea what happened to them. It’s only gotten worse too. Yesterday I saw one Oscar with what looked to be an eye injury, thought they got in a fight and I was upset but brushed it off. Now I come home this morning after work and see this. He’s gotten worse and it looks like the other...

He was gasping and died. I do the water changes weekly 40-50% always and it has worked for me really well. I brought...

    Oscar swimming erratically

    My Oscar randomly starts swimming around as fast as he can in the middle of the night, enough to make enough noise to wake me up from my sleep, it last about ~30 seconds or so, is this normal behavior for oscars? He’s done it about 3-4 times in the past couple of months

    Tetra Krill

    Holy crap this guy built a giant cichlid aquarium

    So this aquarium is definitely crazy, but what I really liked and want to do is keep live plants with my Oscars, Dempsey, Vieja and Lima. Currently I have them in a 180 and my Oscars always destroy my attempt at live plants...how big of a tank would I need for them to leave them alone?
