Do all oscars have random fits like mine has one every now agian today as some of you know he hurt him self pretty bad.
I don't think it is life threating at the moment he is calm but if i do one thing he hates me he chucks a ***** fit at me.
Is it just that i got the one oscar that got droped on the head and is just ****ing nuts or is it normal for such a young fish to do this.
Just wondering becuase if this is what oscars do because of there personity kinda regret getting a oscar.
Hopefully in the long run he calms down and matures or something i don't know i just wanted to know and talk about it.

Thanks

its an Oscar...normal doesnt apply. Thats why they are soo COOL! I have one thats sleeps laying down and sometimes almost upside down :ROFL:
 
LMAO!! Yes, I have scared the crap out of mine a once...cause he was literally sleeping on his side and I thought he was dead (I've never seen a fish do this before) so I reached in and touched him....I don't know who jumped harder him or me, when he reacted!!! He also gets very mad at me when I move things around in the tank...swimming up to my arm and doing the shake type thing...he picks the rocks up and moves them back..or maybe he is trying to throw them at me, not sure LOL!
 
Yer but my oscar is one very angry fish he is just so angry i think i might have to take out some of these rocks becasue he hurt himself really bad today and one of the rocks nicked him but yer. Today (don't know if you saw the thread i made) he took a chunk of scales off he is ok and calm i am not calm but he is and yer.
Just such a angry fish i wish he would cheer up or something i don't know sometimes i think why did i get a oscar i just wish he wasnt so angry.
 
Hmmm, I don't know..change it to a sand bottom? I think I did see your post...was it the one where you were waiting on your dad to come, or was that someone else?
 
You shoul really learn to post these topics in the correct forum. Since it is an Oscar, which would make more sense if this was in the SA/CA Cichlid forum. Or else you could put it in the General Aquaria section and then it would get moved to the correct forum. Not the Lounge which is all NON fish related topics.
