oscar

So I've had an Oscar for a bit over a year now, and he's always been doing great. But last week I went on vacation for a week, and had a friend take care of him for that time. When I got back I noticed these strange spots on him. Their all over him, on his head, his fins, and partly on his...

Hi I’m new to MFK and I was wondering if I could have any more tank mates in my 300 gallon tank. I have a silver arowana, three kelberi peacock bass and an Oscar. I was thinking about a clown knife or a tiger shovel nose. Thanks and would love to hear suggestions.

Hi all, I've just got a baby Albino red tiger oscar, only 4cm really tiny , any suggestions what's the best food for them now to grow ASAP?? Pellet or dry shrimp ??others? Thanks

i will be buying a 265 gallon tank along with a 55 gallon DIY sump filter. My question will be with stocking the 265 display tank. My absolute must have fish is a fire eel I was thinking for tank mates on doing 1x tiger Oscar 1x gold saum 2x red sevrum 8x silver dollars Any issues you think I...

I recently bought a second hand 6x2x2 tank which is practically brand new for a good price. I wanted to put 2 oscars in it and a small school of spotted SD's. Now I was wondering if there is room for a cool catfish, I was thinking about raphaels or maybe pictus'. But then again I dont know if...

I found out early this morning that my Uncle passed away... He was one of the biggest influences in getting me into the hobby... Jimmy had been a professional breeder of several types of fish for over 50 years, but by far and away, his favorite fish has always been the Oscar. In the years before...

So the Grand plan is to get a tankmate for Toni. Final stocking atm will be the two Oscars and six Spotted Silver Dollars For the 125 I just got. I was torn, what kind of O to get, Albino Red, Lemon, Copper, Chilli Red, or wild caught. The Wet Spot had some wild caught Columbian in stock so went...

So friends, I had a Leiarius longbarbis that was sold to me as a Perruno Cat (still havent counted dorsal fins) as a juvenile. Soon after doing my homework shortly after purchasing it I had realized I bought a monster and within a month or 2 I had rehomed him back at the LFS where they have put...

Hi guys, I was wondering if it would be acceptable to house an Oscar in a 120gal with about 5-6 Spotted Silver Dollars, and 4 or so of a Thorichthys species? The tank dimensions are 4' x 2' x 2' and I feel as if i have more than adequate filtration... my worry is that if i went ahead with the...

Just some fish that stood out to me from my LFS. Enjoy:)

Hellooo, I always wanted to have an oscar or 2, I recently found this cheap second hand Juwel rio 450 ( Dimensions are 151 x 51 x66 cm). Now I was wondering if it would be big enough for 2 oscars, a poly or 2 and a clean up crew and which filter would be ideal for this setup? Since I can save...

I am finding a mess of 125gal 6f length 18in width 20in height tanks on Craigslist for 300ish. Would that be a good forever home for a single Oscar? Two Oscars? Or not a forever home for an Oscar, and look for bigger?

Hi guys Thought I’d show you my oscars, I am impressed at their rate of growth. The first photo is when I just got them on 5th of October, and the other photos are from last week. Well bigger than my hand now. I got 9 Silver dollars (I love shiny schooling fish, and I needed some fish to...

Hello MonsterFishKeepers, Please excuse me as this is my first post on this forum. I have an Oscar around 12" whom I've owned for about a year and a half now. Like many other New fish keepers, I wasn't aware of the quick growth of Oscars, soI have been playing lots of catch up in that regard...

Here are some vids of my current cichlids. Sorry not the best, working with what I got to film them anyways here ya go

I am fairly new to fish keeping, but I got myself into a predicament... About two months ago my therapist recommended I get fish to help me focus on something other than myself. Well, my mom came with me to pick out the fish and she saw two baby oscars. I didn't want them at first because I saw...

Im about to buy a 100 gallon tank 5ft long about 2ft tall and about 2ft front to back. My plan for the tank is a cichlid tank not african. I was planing to put a jaguar in it with maybe 2 convict cichlids or maybe a madagascar cichlid what type of cichlid would be best with a jaguar cichlid. I...

So I've had one female oscar 14" for going on 7 years now who has been completely intolerant of any tank mates (except for the logdweller catfish) her entire life. about a year ago she laid eggs for the first time and stopped eating feeder guppies so I decided to to try out a school of 10...

I have a “blue gene” jd, and a albino tiger Oscar. Right now they both are housed in separate 55 gallon tanks, due to the fact that their both only about 5 inches long. My question is, could I house these fish together in a 120 or 125 or would they be constantly fighting? I had them together in...

Okay i have 2 Oscars. They are under 6in so i had them in a 55 by themselves. ( Yes i have 120 not set up yet for when or if they get larger). Anyway i bought a 3in channel cat for my pond but figured id grow it out with the os in the 55 for the winter and then it would be in the pond 500 gall...
