Wow I almost forgot that they are african cichlids! Maybe i should rethink a tankmate then. A firemouth sounds like a good one

Thanks for letting me know, when the time comes I'll most likely get a larger aquarium for the big fella. So I'll be careful choosing his tankmates from now on.

Well I have a 55gal and he is still a rarely small Oscar, comparing to how large they will get. He is about 3 inches. He has tankmates that are bluegills, silver dollars, and one spotted sunfish. All of them are similar in size

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with having an Oscar and frontosa in the same tank. I've been thinking about getting a frontosa of a similar size as my oscar, but I don't want them to act aggressively towards each other. Thanks!

I once had a betta in my 55gal tank and he got along just fine. But, as a warning, he will not do well with any fish of a similar size and color. I had introduced a pair of female golden wonder killies and the betta hated them and I was forced to take him out. So size is deffinetly an issue with...

Hi, I had a crawfish just once, and I don't think I can have another. it isn't because he was aggressive with fish, because the one I had was very calm around fish, but my darling Oscar had to eat him. I was surprised that he didn't get hurt!

Hi! I've had my ropefish for quite some time, and he seems to love frozen bloodworms. Some days I also give him shrimp pellets, which he will take, but not as readily as bloodworms. Hope this helps!
