whoa ok i get home one day to find my pleco texas cichlids dead half eaten and a green terror in my oscars mouth....i think my oscar done it all does ne1 kno how to change that to where my oscar will get along with my other fish
it is a 55 gallon tank the oscar is about 9 in. i have 2 parrots both about 4-5 in. i have a jack dempsey about 6 in. and the pleco that he killed was about 7 in. i am goin to see if i can find another one today about the same size les u think it needs to be larger
The Oscar will outgrow the 55 gallon, you would need at least a 75 (it is a bit wider then a 55). And in the tank that size I doubt there is much you will be able to keep with your Oscar. I am having the same problem with my Red Devil...cichlid_breath said:
I've found its usually not the fish that's stupid, but the owner, take me for example...
my fish have me trained to feed them on cue *ha*, they know everytime the oscar snaps at the top of the water I turn around, and they always look hungry, so I cant help myself lol

for starters get a bigger tank.and for fish you need to get them the same size as the oscar.what kind of oscar do you have?
I agree.The oscar will outgrow the 55 and you are having compatibility problems anyway,Vitaliy said:
so why not upgrade to a 75 for the O.
Then you could leave the other fish in the 55?
Vitality:I am was having the same thing with my red devil.
He's solitary in his 200 gal. at the moment.
