Hi another quick question for the oscar pro's.

[AlBiNo ReD oScAr]

well i have 2 questions really.

i have got my oscar feeding from the surface now and have been feeding him hikari staple for the surface and blood worms and brine shrimp accationally. how much should i feed him? how often?

how many oscars could i get in a 100gallon tank 4.5x2x2

 

[willsfishtank]

depends on how big the oscars are

 

[pdbrady]

A lot of feeding is based on preference. Most people like to offer a couple small feedings a day, until they get larger, then cutting back some. I wouldn't put more than 2 full grown in that size tank.

aobut 3 max casue they get to be about a foot total to 14 inches sometimes 16 so maybe 2 max

ok i was thinking 2 for life i might have to get a new tank then.

thanks for the replys, sam

well 3 with no other tank mates but 2 with other tank mates like convicts JDs FM fsh like that.

ok so i could do 2 oscars and maybe a GT or JD?

sure why not.. add some convicts as dithers ( tehsame sex tho so no breeding occures )

yeh sounds like a good idea.

i would say just two oscars with a pleco or smaller cat, convicts as dithers are an awful idea IMO because theyll end up fighting back, and are just overall a pain in the butt
