Joy of finally having one swing peacfully in my tank, priceless.

2 hours later seeing my 7“ aro missing a chunk from his belly $37.00

That freaking Oscar will not allow any new fish he has killed 3 fish, and is only afraid of my Texas.
 
It's no surprise he's afraid of your Texas, they can be nasty pieces of work. I'm actually not sure how Texas cichlids don't tend to have more of a reputation as nasty cichlids.
 
8“ Oscar, the Texas is a beast but never attacks anyone unprovoked except that Oscar. I actually think this Texas has a thing for Oscars seeing how she killed my last Oscar who was 9.5".
 
Its a delicate balance for sure nip here and there but no real fighting with the fish currently on the tank, just can't add new ones.
 
wow i am suprised that the oscar one at only a 1 inch diffrence some oscars are wimpey but some are plain mean
 
Alot of my fish are mean, the oscar is a killer, my texas puts the oscar in his place, and also killed another oscar. I also have a jeweled cichilid that killed a 5" oscar and tried to kill my 6" firemouth. My rainbow shark sometimes chases my bala sharks, and my bala sharks chase each other. The one and only fish I have that never ever messes with anyone is my 6" Polleni.
