What a mongrel! My Oscar usually will swim over whenever I come to the tank, and gets crazy when I open the lid. On several occasion's it has grabbed pellets right out of my hand, coming half way out of the water. This time I opened the lid, grabbed the food bag, and it jumped right out of the water, hit me in the chest, and fell straight to the floor flopping. I managed to pin it down, and put it back in the tank. Upon inspection, there isn't even a scale damaged on the fish. Glad he's safely back in the tank, but scared the crap out of me! OSCAR ATTACK!
 
This could become an Animal Planet special "When Monster Fish Attack"
:ROFL: :ROFL:
 
I keep waiting for my Oscar to do this. Every time I feed it head and eyeballs come out of the water looking for food. I never encourage it for fear of it hurting itself. Oscars just have a scary appetite.
 
i had a black pacu @24" jump out once, it sounded like a cinder block dropped on the floor. my oscars jump out alot but never all the way that'd
be nuts!
 
My old 22'' aro did something similar, except he tried to break my nose. Fortunatly he ended up back in the tank.
 
I had an Oscar that was 14 when he died. Made it 13" despite the fact that his growth should have been stunted. Stunted from carpet dives that is! Once or twice a year he'd fiind his dumba$$ on the floor.
