Thinking about getting some oscars! Tell me everything I need to know please!!!!! ??
+1 itb always amazes me that I can hear my oscar grinding up the pellets that he eats.Do Oscars have teeth? Not in the real sense like piraña but they have a fairly sharp hardened lip line which is slightly jagged. They also have 'teeth' in their throats for crushing.
Having said that, if you hand feed Oscars from a young age they quickly learn that hands aren't food. When they are bigger I wouldn't tease them with food in case they mistakenly catch your hand.
I've only been bitten once and the Oscar seemed more scared than me.
Oscars are clever and I believe they recognise their owners so I wouldn't let a stranger hand feed. The Oscar may bite but will most likely hide away and play dead - one of their favourite and most alarming tricks.
