Gar + Oscar = ??????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I say go for it, do it while their young so they can grow accustomed to living in the same space, they may even become comfortable with each other into adult hood.

The Gar will in this case likely look at those bumbling deformed oscars and will most likely eventually see them as food.

and what do you mean by deformed?

No I am not mean... I'm telling you outright Veiltailed oscars are going to be a prey item. I do understand gar and I know them very well. Hobby strain altered fin fish (Cichlid or whatever) and gar do not mix. just as silvery ones do not. These animals are weak and will eventually be picked off.. Gars are predators they seek easy prey and nothing is more easy than a deformed fish that can not swim properly.

Look either listen or do not.. I do not really care. Think about it for a bit and you might just get it.....
