i brought 6 o's 1 pair of copper oscar, albino tiger, black tiger.now the copper end black oscars came 2days before the albinos. Now i some times see the black tigers picking on the albinos. A years back ibrought full grown albinos pair and introduced them to my black tiger pair, and they keep on fighting. My lfs said black and albinos dont mix. Is that true. My current o's are 3 inches. Usually i see them picking on the albinos,when the black tigers sre hungry. Otherwize no serious picking. I point is this since i an introducing thm at a small size, they will get along well. Plz comment. Tank size is 6*2*2 ft..
i think oscars are racist.

Even in the fish world we can't get along ... lol.
Never heard of fish having issues with different color fish. Maybe it's the sex of the fish or just the fact you have some unruley Black Tigers.

It might just be that there all new to each other and have to adjust. Do they have places to hide?
they have plenty of space ti hide , but when they se someone around they stay at front top part and keep asking for food even when they are full stomach.
I don't think this has anything to do with them being different types of Oscar but more to do with them being males and asserting themselves trying to be the dominant fish in the tank. Once dominance is established, just so long as the fish lower on the ladder know their role, you shouldn't have anymore issues.
my 2 oscars red tiger oscar and albino LOVE eachother. i think its cause they are new to each other man. mine were raised together so they are in love
