Not my O, he was an ultimate badass, your right they eat like pigs, in fact the reason why I bought him was because he ate a coin we dropped in the tank at Highschool. This was over 15 years ago - so please don’t ban me From the forum - I know that was not a good idea. He had to go because he was killing the smaller Oscar in which the tank was eventually partitioned.Oscars are pretty much pansies, they just eat alot!!!
Buttikofrei (pound for pound)
Dovi (size)
Umbee
Red Devil
In that order!!!!
He lived the majority of his life in a 30 gallon tank then moved up to a 60 gallon.. When he got irate he would frequently puff out his gills and swim in a very odd manner - hard to explain - Very strange maneuvers. My experience is A. ocellatus
