PIRANAS

[_Sushi_]

I know I've seen red-bellies successfully housed with Oscars.

one of my step-sister's relatives had one with a pair of oscars, and they were all really big.

other sites I came across as I was doing research mentioned oscars as a tankmate.

If you shoal with pygos, you don't run as big a risk of losing a fish, but there are other fish that have been successfully housed with pygos. Since they really aren't THAT picky as to what they are shoaling with, as long as there's someone that can get picked off first.

Years ago when I was an idiot kid, I bought a big bad assed looking Oscar and put him in a 55 gal tank and I was happy. Then the next day i saw the first Black P I had ever seen live in my life sitting in my local Pet-shop. Well cut to me watching the two of them staring each other off all night in the 52 Gal tank.

Cut to...

The morning. I had a half a Black Piranha left and a full bellied Oscar sitting back looking like the king of the known universe.

That same P lived for another 9 years in a buddies tank after growing back a majority of his body. I love piranhas.

Moral of story. Oscars and Black O's... Not good bedfellows.

The Oscars name was Dink.

The Piranhas name was Scarecrow.
