While the Oscar can have extreme size, it lacks extreme aggression. I've noticed (while keeping an Oscar among smaller SA and African cichlids) that the Oscar can place a "police" role among the community, lessening aggression between the other fish. Smaller males will have a tougher time becoming the dominate male in the group as long as a larger fish is occupying the same area. Amazing fish, amazing personality and a priceless investment!

I suppose the old adage "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" holds as true with the oscar, as it does with any other cichlid. Because personally, I think this guy is awesome! But hey... there are so many kinds of cichlids to choose from, there's something for everybody, at the end of the day!

I use to keep them but they just create so much waste that underfeeding doesn't even help lol, when my 75 was being used as a growout and had like 20 3-4" cichlids it was easier to manage than two 6-7" Oscars...
