okay i have a bit of a dilemma... i went into my most trusted lfs yest. just to look around and they have lemon oscars... which is the fish i originally really really wanted to put in my 180 but theres NOONE around here that has them... even the owner of the lfs said its the first time he's ever gotten them... he only has 5 left... the problem im seeing here is... i wont be purchasing or setting up my 180 gal til hopefully sometime in nov. when my new house is finished... but... i dont want to let this oscar slip thru my fingers... i currently have a 29 gallon full of zebra danios, neons, and a few platys... do you think i could put this lemon oscar in for the next few months and keep him til the 180 is ready? questions... while i know a 29 is nowhere near big enough for an oscar... will it be okay for a juvie for 2 possibly 3 months at the most? if i were to put him in there will he eat all my neons, danios etc... will the neons, danios, platys nip at the oscar knowing that theyre pretty timid as juvies? ugh... what should i do... the only other tank i have is a 10 gal... should i set up the 10 use filter media and gravel from my 29 to instantly cycle it then put the oscar in there for a few months? i know 10 gal is probably even worse but at least he would be alone in there and wouldnt hurt the other fish... what should i DOOOOOO??? thanks in advance for the help guys... help me obi wan kenobi youre my only hope...
