? Firemouth or Convict ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
wow they do look very nice! i would go with them instead of FM's!

havent seen any nice examples of these until i looked them up! i have seen a couple in some stores! but they werent very nice! but if you get them from jeff rapps they are alsmot garunteed to be nice!
 
The O is small, but I think I'm going to go with the Firemouths. But I do like the red points so I believe I'm going to get at least on pair for a different tank.
 
i would go with the firemouths as they have a deeper body than the con's i have heard of oscars eating con's,also con's may kill a small oscar like yours WHEN they decide to breed!!!!!
 
I would go with FM, I have seen cons take over half a tank when breeding even though all the other fish were twice their size.
 
if want to try a second it would be better to start with a group of 3 or 4 young ones. I have 125 with a group of 3 4" Os, a 2" female con and a 2" firemouth. i might be able to keep 2 Os or i might have to get rid of 2 Os and keep just one. I like you will have to wait and see what happens when they start to mature.
 
If you have a bigger tank, you can get a second Oscar. You will need to upgrade in order to keep 2 oscars and some breeding cichlids in the future.
 
I currently have 3 breeding pairs of convicts, 2 black, 1 pink I also have a breeding pair of firemouths. The FMs are as tough and aggressive as any of my convict pairs. They also seem more apt to defend thier territory even when they don't have fry. You could always do both cons and FMs with you oscar. One thing with the FMs they do put on a better show.
