Long overdue update on the wild caught Oscar project.
I decided to rehome the lone wild caught to a buddy because it turned out to be a holy living terror, lol. When it got to be about 5” or so I felt it could make it in the 300 gallon, it was acting like a typical oscar and pouted and layed on the bottom for days. Then it got comfortable... real comfortable, and started attacking my heterospilus who was huge in comparison. It also started gill flaring at my big bichirs who probably could have ate him if they wanted. It didnt even seem to fear the gaint Pearsei, which I knew would be an issue when the oscar got bigger and would just be a bully.
Didnt want the calm in the tank to be disturbed by the psycho oscar so
I offered him to a buddy who was willing to try and take it on.
