Here are some more gems from 2013 and 2012:
"I have decided on pictus cats, giant danios, mollies and either a jaguar cichlid or an oscar for my 110 g stock tank. Footprint is 4ft x3ft and is oval shaped. My question is which would be a better fit? Would the jag try to eat the pictus cats? Or would the Oscar be a better option?" (2013)
"Ok.. so i have a juvenille red tiger oscar in a 55 gallon tank, i have had him for 2 weeks, i was just wondering if anyone knew if angelfish would be good tankmates for oscars
i've heard mixed reports, some people say that oscars and angelfish normally get along, but don't put angelfish that fit into the oscar's mouth in the tank.
some say that oscars and angelfish will get along great, but the pet store owner said that the angelfish would definitely get eaten, after i got the oscar and some sucking catfish,
i gave the tank some time to settle down before i added any more fish, now i would like to get some more fish, the reason i chose angelfish is because oscars and angelfish are both south american cichlids
so i thought the oscar might be lonely and want some friends. please respond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (2012)
"Okay so you have a 55 gallons tank with an Oscar. Yes bigger is better and it would not be my choice. But I know several people that have had Oscars in 55 gallon tanks for years and where some of the best ones I have seen and did not have any HITH disease. You will know if he is stressed in a 55. But I don't think it will happen." (2012)
And this doozy thread:
"Ways to keep an Oscar in top form in a 55g:
Use a drip system to ensure constant, clean water.
Use lots of emergent plants (pothos, spider plants, philodendron, etc.) to kick nitrates to the curb for good.
Make the Oscar the ONLY fish in there. If you love him, you need to eliminate biological competition in that little tank. Period.
Cross your fingers and hope he ends up being an 11" adult.
Feed as lightly as possible. As a young fish, up to 6", this means at least an amount of food approx. the size of his eye twice a day. After 6", you're looking at once a day feeding, go by his belly. He should be flat between his ventral fins and his vent, not concave or convex. These feeding guidelines are estimates. Temperature, food quality, etc. will all play factors. Once he's up about 9", you can drop down to once every other day. At least once a week (starting now) include some earthworm chunks, crickets or other bugs.
Keep the heat as low as possible, usually for Oscars that about 76 degrees F, sometimes it has to be 78 if the O gets too sluggish or loses appetite. This is slow the growth and reduce overall biological activity in the small tank. A cooler fire, if you will. " (2012)
"P.S IF angelfish won't get along with oscars, please post a list of fish that oscars WILL get along with in a 55 gallon tank."

Yeah, it's pretty scary how much poor information is still to be found on the www.
I read the following on a local ad this morning, and shook my head. It was part of a tank close down & sell off.
Three pails of well cycled tank water in 5 gallon jugs $4 each
Only $4.00, what a bargain for dirty water......

The only way that ad could make sense is if it was saltwater in perfect parameters for water changes.
Two red flaming dwarf gouramis $15.
Two salt & pepper catfish $10
One pleco with national geographic jug $15
Three pails of well cycled tank water in 5 gallon jugs $4 each
Prefer they all go to the same home as they are all buddies.

No, no, people need to stop being stupid. Stupidity is the root cause of almost every thing that is wrong with this world. He wants $15 for two dwarf gouramis? Ha, that’s funny. Almost as funny as the 15 gallons of water for $12. This isn’t the apocalypse bud, people won’t pay $12 for 15 gallons of water.
