Yeah, the male could definately go crazy if they bred. Your tank is long enough that you should be OK though. If you are luckly they will spawn in a corner and only gaurd about 4ft of the tank. If they spawn in the middle you might have some issues. But that is a big tank.

Well I made some room in the far left but I think they didn't like it... they seem to like where they are in the video. Maybe I should move the rocks when/if spawning is immanent.
 
A friend of mine had a breeding pair of wild parrots AND a breeding pair of wild oscars in an 8 foot 550. The two pair agreed to split the tank but only one pair spawned at any one time. The parrots could get quite aggressive but the oscars were no slouches!

If they spawn in the middle, look out!!

well I came home today finding them claiming the far left, right where I wanted them to :) The female seems very anxious, which is quite unusual for her... guess we'll see what happens in a few days :)

Well I know what they are capable of.... I got bitten a couple of times by the male when I was hand feeding him - boy did he leave a bloody mark!

That's funny Peter. Mine drew blood too, when I caught it at Damien's house. Put my hand over the net to keep it from jumping out and learned a quick little lesson about psittacus and where your hands don't belong... lol
 
wow those are some great fish, how do you think a pair would do in a 125?

Yep - this is when you worry about other fish! :)

I think it might work, as long as the pair are compatible. They can be really mean.
