What's more aggressive? JD? or Oscar?

[Dreamingdragon]

You also can try to reduce the agressifnes. By giving the oscar a hidding place so jd doint fit in his hiding place. My jd some times is after my yello but he has a good hidden place and jd can't get to him

 

[Dreamingdragon]

I know it,s a pain in da [moderator edit], I change a lot in my tank. Because jd like,s to bug my other fish so I have a lot hidden places for them. I also have a green terror in my tank. But jd doint has eye for him. Tomorrow I wil make a nother film for my fish on YouTube brandyn9111

 

[Jnthn932]

Whew good. Where is the jd going? How big is the oscar? With a big oscar, it can still eat tankmates

LOL I wouldn't do that! I had mentioned earlier what fish I was removing. Guess you skipped that part! lol. The JD is going to remain in my 55. Idk dragon dude is talking about but I never had one in a 10 gallon with tetra's lol. Osconius the great is only about 5".

Yeah that's pretty much what I do now, but I'd rather have the JD by himself.

Ok hahaha this is much better. And the tetras are in the 20 right?

 

[Dreamingdragon]

My bad lol but how is it going

Yeah. Tetra's and rams are in the 20. Leaving bala sharks, clown loaches, upside down catfish, and forgot to mention earlier, 7 inch BGK and angelfish in the 125. Now the plan is to put the Oscar in the 125.

Haven't done it yet! Still trying to gether info and make an educated decision.

Hmm, not sure how the angel will do....are there many caves for the BGK? He probably wont like the active oscar

How is your tank doing without the oscar? It sounds like a tank that requires a good eye to make sure everyone is doing alright.

He pretty much spends all his time in a hollow peice of driftwood. I only see him at night and thats rare. I was thinking the same thing, but I definitely can't put him with the JD. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Dreamingdragon]

Hahaha it was funny but sorry my bad. I know how it goes with mix cichilds. You have to be lucky. Even when we have the rong fish toghter. Some times it works some times they doin,t so it wil keep you bizzy for a while. I do this for 4 years. As long they get to strest out.

Everyone is great! I have literally never had a problem. With anything! I've been very fortunate.

 

[Dreamingdragon]

Gather info is alway,s good to do. It can drive you up the wal

Actually, I take that back. One time about a year ago my heater broke and my water temp dropped to like 68 degrees overnight and I lost a few fish, but as fair as aggression and general health goes everything is good.

 

[TheCrazyFishLady]

Well, that's good. I would just worry that adding in another aggressive animal might set off that balance. This would be a situation that you will have to closely watch how everyone is interacting.

I know what you mean. Everytime I think I've come to a conclussion I find something else that makes me think.

I definitely agree. It's just nerve racking trying to decide! My biggest concern is waking up one morning to find all of my other fish dead and Osconius just swimming around lol.

 

[TheCrazyFishLady]

What is an "osconius"?

And I understand that. If I were in your shoes, I would look to rehome some of these guys. But, if you want the challenge, then I would be very, very careful over watching them.

I really hope you never wake up to that.

Osconius is the name my 10 year old brother gave to my oscar lol. Sorry I didn't clarify. I'm going to be. I honestly think that because the tank is so large they will be ok.
