What a Pearsei can do

[Bogwoodbruce]

This is what a 6-7" Pearsei did to my 3" Wild caught oscar in a 180 with plenty of hiding places, i m treating him with melafix and slat, is there anything else that can be done?

He was only in the tank for 24hrs:

Looks like total ownage. That sucks. That's about all you can do. You might add some slime coat product to further treat the injuries.

lmao tbh anything can do that to a 3" oscar, when my dads oscar was that size it got bullied badly by his kribensis.......... now that oscars a beast at 7.5" and flairs anything that goes near the tank.

Its fine with its other tankmates, big oscars, baysnooks etc, and my friend is buying the biggest pair from me.

hey you can also add some aquarium salt in the tank so it also helps to heal your oscar.Thats what i did to my vieja synspilum...when he got beat up by my 9" male manguense....and well the synspilum is about 5".They were in a 180 gallon tank....now i sold them and the tank long ago.....since i couldnt care for the tank much longer for a move out.Good Luck with you wounded oscar and hope he gets better =)

Poor little guy.

You may want to keep him in a dimly lit tank for a while.
