Awesome, thank you! I have a pretty varied diet of frozen foods already for my bichirs including tilapia, market shrimp, silversides, krill, mysis, as well as blood worms and my staple northfin carnivore. I also have the hikari foodsticks, does your oscar seem to like them? I’ll keep you updated on what I decide to do. I may end up getting both an albino and red. What do you think? I have a 180.

Beautiful setup! I was keeping Toni with just one other fish in a 125 and to me she was starting to look cramped. I tried to introduce her to my other adult but it wasn't enough room for them. If you could find a pair already used to one another or raised some babies together it would probably be enough space.

Thank you, do you think personality would differ from having 1 or 2? I want it to have that “oscar personality” and of having multiple takes away from that I may go with just 1.

True albino Oscar is not a fish I would want. they tend to have bad eye sight and can have other issues, looking for that color variant I would go with a lutino, also called a lemon oscar.

mine where great Oscars. This is Homer.

But my fav have always been my tigers. Yes thats a Jag Female in the tank, its a F1 I raised from egg from my WC pair that was suppose to be fish food along with 30 others from a spawn. She had other ideals,

Awesome tanks, how do the oscars get along with the ghost knife?

they never had a problem. there is also a large sun cat in tank, large common pleco. Oscars never cared.

that was the 180 tall so room to roam. The jag came out and put with a male about 2 months after that with anouther F1.
