Tiger Oscar

i keep my LMB at 80* and have had no problem other then them emptying my wallet

LMB will be fine at 75-82, it will just eat alot

Your bass should be fine and rather active at that temp. Try not going to far above 80 though. I think 75-80 would be fine for your largemouth bass and oscar.

My oscar doesnt seem to want to eat, hes not intersted in the floating pellets at all and the sinking ones he swallows the spits them back out, but they in tiny pieces.
Are the pellets to small? the oscar is about 15 cm and the pellets are tiny!

 

[fatherof5]

Just wait it will eat them.

off the bottom, from the top, in the middle, from your hand, from out of the water...oscars will eat anything from anywhere. Just a few days ago one was so anxious to eat the pellets that were falling in the water that he jumped into the bag of food!

Not the least bit surprising. They are pigs. Gotta love it.

It might be to cold and he doesnt feel like eating. whats the temp right now ( F ).

the higher temp will make your bass grow faster to

IVe never had a problem keeping an oscar in an unheated tank.
