fighting oscars or male n female .....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My pair does that...I to would say its a pre-spawn behavior...expecially if their tubes are showing and theyre displaying by shaking their fins at the other.
 
yeah they only do it for like 10 minutes (shaking they like vibrate to each other )

they kick each other's *** they get hurt from it but not to bad....just a few
scales torn
 
Pairs somtimes will also develope a pecking order...my female O makes sure the male is well aware that its her tank and hes damn lucky to be in it. I wouldnt worry about it unless it gets more serious than a few scales or fins. What size is your tank? You want atleast a 6ft long tank to house a pair of Os IMO.
 
yeah well they wont be mine for long im trading them in cause my dad doesnt like them threr his fish but yeah i look after them .............
 
well good info on mating oscars, this describes what is happening in my tank, the only problem is my tank is only 5ft long
