    So I have a tank with a school of 5 Albino Tiger Barbs and 2 Common Crayfish (One missing a pincer) However, I've been thinking that maybe an Oscar would be fine too? The Tiger Barbs are decent size, though I think still pretty young and not at full potential in growth. The Cray with only one...

    Possible Oscar tank

    Hey, all! This is another thing I might do if I get a 75 gallon or, if I'm super lucky and can pull off the miracle of both finding room for it and managing to convince my landlord to let me, a five foot tank like a 125 gal. I've done a lot of research on oscars before, but had just a couple...

    Oscar with BGK and eartheaters?

    I have a small group of 4 inch Geophagus 'Tapajos' and a 6 inch Black Ghost Knifefish. If I get a baby Oscar, will my current fish grow fast enough to avoid eventually being eaten? I know Oscars grow quite fast in comparison. BTW, I'm not worried about aggression, I have that covered.

    Ruby and Opal

    This is just a place to bask in the awe and glory that is my Ruby and Opal. P.s it is not recommended to stare for more that 10 seconds at the images of perfection for fear of spontaneous combustion or sudden blindness.
