Oscars With Red Bellys?????

[Markm9n]

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully put a juvenile Oscar with juvenile red bellies?

It will probably work for a while but soon enough you will find the oscar munched.

They have (maybe had, havent checked in awhile) a large oscar with a group of 6 inch red bellies at the LFS.

They will nip at the fins of the oscar relentlessly. Best tank mate for p's is p's.

juve oscar and a juve piranha? how many oscar are we talking about? it will work as long as the oscar was the 1st one in the tank. But in the long run, you know what will happen eventually.

Doesn't matter if the oscar has established dominance in the tank, the piranha will eventually get to the oscar and nip fins if not worse.

just get another piranha instead of a oscar

hahaha thats really funny seeing as how oscars are considered prey fish in the wild. they just act tuff because they arent aware of it.
