Just put my jar and albino together.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Okay.

First off, thanks for ALL the responses.

I separated the Oscar and put him back with his buddy whom I've acquired for free from an owner who was keeping 2 stunted Oscars in a 55. I have them both in the equivalent now.

I was hoping that my Jardini would be a good sport but it's not hinting that way. Looking at the pictures I've posted he must have bite his top back fins a few times and middle fin possibly. No chunks taken so I was wondering if its just not shown in the picture. Probably was nipping though. I've seen a lot of nipped tails in community tanks.

My tank is only 125 gallons thats true. I'm not in the position to upgrade. I am, however, planning on building a 55 gal sump for my 125. That's why it would've been nice of the Jardini to...



Well here are pictures of the 2 Oscarz.

And looking at these pictures - it's confirmed. It was getting nipped at. I'm going to have to devise something... But that's when I free up. I really am going to be busy again and won't be able to experiment. To be continued, everybody.

Rodney glad you separated the and didn't let the oscar get massacred.
H.I.T.H. city on them oscars.
 
i hope you'r not to fond of the oscar. My old jardini pounded and demolished 3 different oscars. the first one was when he was about you'r jar's size. So good luck with the combo.

like they all said it is a ticking time bomb and that beautiful oscar will be no longer... jars just snap... one day good next day a killer... sooner or later..
 
my 8inch jar was put into a community tank when he was around 5 or 6 inches then uh i forgot to feed him a couple days ago so he get food for 2 days then uh i wake up next morning to find an angel fish in his mouth. because of the shape of the angel he couldnt get the whole thing in his mouth, i tried to rescue the angel poked the aro's back with my finger and he let of the angel. but before that i think the jar was showing me his catch thats how i was able to poke him. n e ways been feeding him on time now and he hasnt killed any of the other fishes.
 
too bad it didn't work out, but at least you tried.
