Nice Oscar. An underrated fish.

Great lookin oscar love the orange pattern nice.

Thanks. Wish the tank had a little more... excitement to it, lol. Just has the Oscar, Pleco, and a Blood Parrot. And yet the funny thing is, when we purchased the Oscar at his small size and he was put into the tank, it was FULL of African Cichlids. Many, if not all, where much larger than him. An absolutely beautiful tank. But they had already been purchased years before his arrival, and one by one they started to pass away, until the Oscar was the only one left, lol. Such a pity.

Nice 'O'.

Thanks.

Nice Oscar. An underrated fish.

They grow fairly fast. Had three of them, but they fought to the death one day. Wasn't pretty.

I need an opinion on this. The reason why you don't see this tank very much is because it is my mothers, and she loves the Oscar to death, but she is bored with just having a few very large fish that cannot go with any other without having the Oscar trying to kill it. SO, I have a question (Here we go...lol). Would the Oscar be O.K. in a 50-Gallon Breeder Tank by himself? Enough space for him to move around? It doesn't need to happen, just a thought.
