Grumbo is gone, but in a bigger tank; so the updates are probably done.

Wow. Great advice from all. Rams are something else I was looking into. Is that a type of fish that does better with 5-6, is a pair preferred, or should they be alone?

I recently moved my oscar to a friend's much larger tank, and now I have a 55 gallon ready for something new. Having only had the oscar, I'm looking forward to some variety (as well as finally being able to decorate without fear of everything being ripped out). I would love a community, and...

Very good suggestions. Thanks you.

I've been dealing with a lone oscar in a 75 for almost 3 years now, and I love it, but now I'm looking to branch into a community type of thing. A friend of mine fizzled out on trying to maintain a 10-gal; all his fish died, and I basically have some free equipment now. While I'm ashamed to...

Thank you very much. And thanks for all the help, but I did some budgeting, and it'll probably be a while before I get another tank.

Lecturing me on cycling. Psha! I'm so insulted. JK, but thanks for the concern. EDIT: Also, here's a picture of my oscar most-recent. http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/7787/grumboat75inchespose6ur.jpg

Wow, great replies. This is something exciting for me because I'm just so used to one big guy in the tank. I've never known much about plants or lighting at all. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure what to feed small fish. I'm used feeding golfball-sized pellets. ((EDIT: In fact, I'm going...

It's been quite a while since I've been on this board. I've had a 55 gallon with an oscar for nearly 2 years now. I love it, but the setup limits me in some key ways: A: I can't decorate, outside of rocks, because Grumbo will lay waist to anything I toss in there. B: I'm at full capacity...

Most likely, I imagine it's because they were babies. Heh, don't want to use LFS tanks to figure out tank set-ups (e.g. 50 bajillion oscars in a 10gal).

Pretty much what he said. One thing to remember is that while oscars are aggressive in the spectrum of all fish, they are pretty mild compared to some of the larger cichlids. If you get another cichlid of comparable size, try to get one that's always going to be smaller than your O, and make...
