Stock Plan...

[jgentry]

From my own experience I don't think it will work long term. Once the texas gets big enough to challenge the oscars it is not going to leave them alone. Texas are bullies and like to start fights even if they can't win them. Once it gets big the oscars will not be able to hang with it. Oscars are all bluff and posing, texas are not bluff, they will murder a fish that they think is weeker very quickly. Plus 2 adult oscars is going to be a ton of bioload on only a 120g.

It could work but you are going to have to do a ton of water changes and be ready to move fish very quickly when the texas gets a little bigger if it decides it doesn't like any of them.

Thanks for that... I'll make sure to keep a close eye.

If so I'll find the O's a new home.

I am sure that you are! But I simply don't have the space for that

I've only owned 2 species of out your stock list, so I can't really give you any advice but I would like to know how it turns out if you decide to try it.

Can ya keep us posted?

Kev - No problem... I'll keep everyone posted.

I'm off on holiday this weekend so when I get back I'll be picking up my new Tex.
Either I'll update this thread or start a progress thread

Thinking of cutting it down to one Oscar instead of keeping my two.
