The start of a killer mini monster?

[nfored]

So I reported a month or so ago about my babe 1.5 or 2" Oscar killing 2 fish a guppy and a 2" platy. He now lives in with my community and he is about 3 or 4", I see some scuff marks on him so he clearly is getting into it with someone at night but nothing to bad. However each day I see him take on my group of 8" Bala's. There is nothing as funny as watching a fish less then half their size bully them around. He is not skitish or afraid of anyone in the tank, at feeding time he hits the food hard and fast and pushs past the Texas that killed his cousin "RIP Gimli"

So given this clear aggressive behavior do you think once he hits the 6" - 10" mark I might have a problem on my hands. My last O was no where near this aggressive.

when he gets big enough to eat them he proly will there really that mean of a fish they will just eat what fits in there mouth

Most of the community would not fit in his mouth unless he became a true monster like 15+ But there are 3 fish that would the fire mouth, the jewel, and the rainbow shark. the rest are way to big to get eaten by anything smaller then 18 or so inches.

A jewel in with an oscar..? The platy and guppy were destined for death, and an oscar will kill pretty much everything you've mentioned, except maybe the firemouth if they're in a suitably sized tank.

Oscars are unpredictable. I've seen one that was horribly aggressive as a baby, then mellowed out as it got bigger.
