OSCARS FULL SIZE!

Apart from the tiny Datnioides Microlepis and Polypterus Ornatipinnis my LFS (best worldwide) had, I saw a battered Oscar, ~11", so
since yesterday I have 4 Oscars.

Here's my 200g tank:

question : one of my red oscar died, there was no sign of disease.. it just lost it appetite and swim very slowly. Doesn't eat.
I read it could be swim bladder problem but i'm not too sure.

How many Os have you got in the tank?
what litre is the tank and what fillter are you using?
have you checked the ammonia level and is the tank well oxygenated.

Yeah keep the waterparameters OK, and you'll have a whole bunch of
17"ers.


I red the whole thread, and I fel a bit in love with the longfinn albino I saw. I think its one of the most beautiful fishes I've ever seen.
Kinda mix Goldfish-Oscar. Love it.

Smaller then.. gives so much room for fluctuating waterparameters, and therefor an unsuitable environment for such a stunning species.
This can be used for any kind of waterdweller.

But I'm not judging anyone. I'm here for the
