how old and what is his size? i actually lost an oscar a few wks back. left for work and had 3 oscars, came home from work and had 2. i just assumed that the other 2 finally paired up, killed him and my gar ate him. well, yesterday i found him dried up under my couch. these guys are only about 4in and in a 120 with heavy glass lids. mustve gotten a wild hair up his butt
yes there is water that drips off the lids.hes about 20-25cm and about a year old hes only just started doing it about 3-4 weeks ago.
he almost broke one of the lids the other day.

Oscars are always doing something crazy or stupid, I guess that is a big part of their appeal. Not long ago my oscar was laying on the gravel his color was faded and I thought he was dead. As soon as I got up and went over to the tank he sprang to life, flashed his colors and did the "feed me dance". I went back, sat down, and he did it again, played dead. He also splashes and jumps around often.

when i first got him he played dead for a week and i thought he was dying and one day i went to check on him and he was swimming around happily and then he saw me standing there and played dead and layed on the bottom so i fed him two convict babies that were about 1 cm and he stopped playing dead.
