ok i had 12 plus platys and now within a few days im down to 5 or 7 platys, my oscars are 5 1/2 and 6 inches and now i think there starting to show there true selfs! right now one of them has a platy in there mouth ( ruby red one does ) and last night the albino tiger had another one in his mouth.. and i think he has another one right now in his mouth.. wow so soon ill only have 2 swordtails and 4 black skirts...

anyone else oscars like this?? platys have been there tankmate for about a month..
 
oscars will eat anything that will fit in their mouth their not picky espeacially if it moves
 
I hope my Oscar is like that. I'd worry of he didn't try to eat everything he saw.
 
yea when they slow down their trying to swallow just a word of advice get a 10 G settup with sumn guppies try to have 2-3 females per 1 male store bought feeders = not so good stuff
 
these arent store bought feeders lol, i had these platys for about 2 or so months. just added them to the oscars tank cause i was moving and now had no other tank so theey just stayed in there, now being picked off ( which is fine with me )
 
When I got my first oscar, Marley, I had him in a 20 gallon for a month so he grow a little. He was an inch when I got him and he was in with a school of zebra danios. After about a month he killed and eat his first fish so I figured he was ok to put with my other fish. But aside from that one danio, he has never eaten any of my fish and I have kept him with fish under 2". Even now at 8", he doesn't touch them so I guess it just depends on the fish.
