Anyone out there that has or has had an Oscar fish?!?

My Oscar has bit me before and it does not hurt but it shocks you! Lol

My Oscar and type of catfish that I'm kinda sure that you can't get them anymore cause their going extinct????

Check out the central and south American cichlids group on here. Some very knowledgeable people there. I'll try to attach a pic of mine.




Sorry for sideways pic, its from my phone and just fed fish so there is food floating around.

They are some pretty cool oscars!!

I would love to have one but I don't have the room for a tank that large right now. 55g is the biggest my space will allow.

Personally I think oscars look amazing, but I don't have the right tank for them. One day I'm sure.

God, you guys are so lucky!
I've always wanted an oscar, but every time I get a tank large enough to house one, I end up going a different direction.

They are such personable fish though, that eventually I'll make room for one!

I just don't understand what advise he want?

I dont think the op was looking for advice. Just stating that they have an oscar and catfish. And asking if anyone else has owned an oscar

That looks like a lace catfish to me..not extinct lol.

I know but it's scientific name is sydontis something. And anyway I do need some advice.

How can I prevent my Oscar from bashing into my thermometer because he bashes his head in it and he broke it I'm so lucky that I got the glass out and stuff so yeah how can i prevent it? If no one knows its ok though

 

[Aski247]

Just let it float In the tank, I never have mine on the glass any more because my glass bangers would always knock them off.
