Returned my Oscar to Fish Store for Fancy Goldfish...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have never had the sulking oscar experience, so for me a juvie hiding and not eating for a week would be concerning. The important thing is that the op has ended up with a fish that they like and will hold their interest.

Agreed, I forget not everyone has mts and may consider upgrading a deal breaker.
 
Multi Tank Syndrome. I started with a 10g 4 years ago, 22 tanks now not counting the 470g plywood build for my dovii. Not all are set up, but I hang on to them just in case.

Shame you didn't give the guy a chance, but 55g is too small anyway as pointed out.

They are also big sulk cry babies, which is part of their charm; I hope to keep another Oscar again in the future when I can house them properly :)
 
they can be sulk babies but that is later, when they are older and bigger. the little guys are feed me hounds if good and healthy and not stressed by tank mates.
 
I have moved a rock, and them lay in the back of the tank half on side, WAAAAAAAAAA you moved my rock!!!
