Oscar question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have seen a lot of people try to add a third oscar into a tank with two established ones. Many time the established ones will gang up on the newcomer. Not saying that it cant work, but I would be cautious.
 
yeah i was kinda concerned about it. Right now i only have the one oscar and would like to get 2 more from a friend who is moving out of state and doesn't want to take them with him.

Grab it turn it over and look for the sex organs! (do some searches on fish venting or diff between male/fem african cichlids. You will see the diff the look at your fish and let us know!

this is true, usually within a week it all settles down and they become content with eachother, mine were not introduced together..and they dont leave a spot unless they're all together..never any fighting..probably the most peaceful oscars ever, lol
 
Wow cool thanks for the info. And yesterday i made a mistake, My oscar is in a 72 gal. When i said 55 i was think of my sw tank.
 
I would do more then one in a 72G..
