Please help me decide, new fish, JAG, or Oscar?

I've never had a black shark but I hear they're extremely aggressive.

Yeah they can be really nasty. But they are worth it.

black sharks are nuisances! freaking crazy aggro and UGLY IMO
i jag would deffinitely be able to take more punishment than an oscar thats for sure

Well I agree on the agressive part but not on the ugly part Adult 14-24 inch black sharks are truly impressive looking fish, magnificent even

In that case, I agree with Voss. An oscar would most likely pout and get its @ss kicked all around. A jag would fit much better.

oscars would do awful under these circumstances

varigated sharks are pretty cool

Wek\ll I guess between a BS, Devil, and a Jag, a poor oscar could get knocked around a bit.

Jag for sure, that's a no brainer lol.

Oscars are cool too. I wouldn't say no brainer.

i dont get why some cichlids will let fish with no teeth and weak jaws beat on them, my a. sp"red isletas" is terrified of my much smaller msytus mystus yet he isnt afraid of me or my larger rtm male

i would go with a jag over an oscar any day

Me too. I would even go as far as saying it's a no brainer.

Jag, hands down. Oscars are cool but and not suitable for that tank. It would get pummeled.

I'd definately go for a Jag. I just picked up a 7" F1 male from Rapps and he's a beauty.
