I have an Oscar that we bought about 2 months ago now. she had a bad eye when we bought her, but she was active and it looked to be from when she was younger. Anyway, she got attacked in our tank bad enough that i pulled her and treated her to let the wounds heal over. she is now looking like she will be fine, but that leaves the question. I dont know what fish i could put with a handicapped oscar. she is very chill, but i know oscars can be mean. what could take some heat without giving? Tank size is unknown at this point because she is in a hospital tank and we are going to have to get her a tank. Any and all Ideas would be great. Thanks in advance

What were the tank mates that you had with the Oscar? Also what is the tank size?

the oscar is alone now, and getting a new tank. was with a angry trimac mix, 2 green terrors, blood parrot, plecos, and raf cats though in a 120 gallon 6ft tank
we are going to get her a new tank and set up a full second set to take care of her though. so i need help figuring out what would go with her being handicapped and then tank size to go with the set up.
Severums. =) They're great and not that aggre, same temperament as an average oscar, but most likely calm and chill.
.. I admire you for keeping the fish and planning proper carewell, she kind of bonded with me at the store. we were really in the market for 1 oscar and my g/f picked a different one, but this one seemed to like me... so both was a solid option. no turing back now
If it's an option, ditch the trimac, your entire tank will instantly benefit. I agree that GTs and severums are good companions for oscars.
