I know you can't say any definite answer on this one but in general would oscars get gentler when they get bigger?
I'm asking this one since I have one 3" tiger oscar that bullies my 5" indo dat quite a lot in the tank. No serious damages though since there are quite a few places that the indo dat can hide, the oscar just chases the indo dat away when he gets too close. It doesn't really seem to care about the other fishes in the tank (I have a smaller 2"red O in the tank and three 4-5" bichirs) and is really comfortable swimming with them. I'm assuming it's mean towards the indo dat because of the "tiger" pattern it has?
