This is my little 6-7" Red Oscar, he is in a divided tank with a Black Shark and Red Devil witch are both larger than him. One day we came home and found the dividers knocked down and the black shark swimming around and the Red Devil beat up, but we couldnt see the oscar anywhere, I though they both ripped him apart but he was hideing under one of the dividers whitch was smart or else he would of been killed.
He was pretty beat up with his fins ripped apart and massive gashes all down his body and head.

I put the dividers all back up and made sure this time there is no way of them being knocked down, I then changed the water for the oscar and added heaps and heaps of salt. I tryed feeding him but he didnt want any, he seemed to be in alot of pain as you can see from the picture above. I wasnt to sure if he was going to make it as well but everyone on a forum told me not to worry as Oscars always heal up good.

Well this is him today, 1 or so months after.

Cant even tell if anything happend can you? By the 3rd day he was eating again and I changed his water every 2nd day and keept on adding salt. Now its much larger but I still wont let it in the tank with the Shark.
 
can you post pictures of your shark and red devil. What size tank do you have them in? Nice Oscar.
