If you get to close I'll eat you

That's crazy! They totally muscle out the catfish. The Oscars are some of the best that I've ever seen. Their colors are exceptional. They are big too. How long do you think you will be able to keep them all in the 125? Are you trying to get a pair? You're doing a great job with them. They look very healthy and apparently very hungry! Good stuff!
How big does the cat get? He seems really intent on eating that small Oscar. he's a good looking cat though.
Wow! Those are very beautiful fish! I like how the larger oscar came to the rescue of the small oscar when the catfish was going after it!

When its feeding time I feed them the 7.5mm NLS on that corner of the tank....I have to roll it in on the ac110 output becasue if I opened the glasscover I would either be wet or oscars on the floor lol.
Don't let the cat fish fool you tho in the 2nd vid you can see he fights for the top spot with the large oscars and he seems to always be trying to eat them. The big oscar is like 9-10" or so and the cat is a tad longer so probably close to 11-12".
I absolutely love these oscars color. These 3 are the leftovers from getting a pair. I have 2 others in a 4' 120 that have paired...no eggs yet but I suspect they laid some and ate them before I saw them so I haven't had a successful spawn yet. I raised 5 of them in the 120 and pulled these 3 when the others started to pair up. Ultimately, I will definitely get rid of one of the oscars...maybe 2. I am definitely keeping the big one since he was my fav of the 5 but didnt end up in the pair. As for the catfish...I dont know....I think they can get up to 18" and if he did and had that same attitude It will probably be too much for that 125. I have some other fish im growing out to try with the oscar (or maybe 2 oscars) in that tank.
Here are the other 2 in the 120 doing there dancing. If you search around I have posted these osacrs from when I first got them from Jeff and some progression pics. They were drab colorless fish when I got them.
