what's wrong here

[jwh0818]

No I havent gone yet. Im gonna go later today and it will survive. He is a strong one

 

[Mlani]

Let us know how it goes? Are you thinking of getting a qt now?

 

[jwh0818]

Well actually I kinda have one. Its a planted tank but has some algae growth in it. I keep one rosy red in there and its a 10g so im just gonna use that but im now waiting to see if my pleco can survive and if he does im gonna get probably 5 oscars total (to keep agression down) and maybe 6. I want 2 tigers, 2 red tigers and 2 albinos. But they will be small so I can watch them grow and I wanna see how agression is with 6. What do you think

 

[Mlani]

I think you might need to eventually upgrade your tank once they get to be around 6"

oh yeah definatly. I plan on it I want a 125-150g tank. My tank is only 4 feet long so an upgrade is gonna happen soon either way

I hit the send button too early. Lol darn phone. Everything is so close together on here. Anyway..lol
I think once they get to be young teens you might have to get a bigger tank. Yours is 110gal? My oscars grew to be over a foot, I only had two fish in the end. I think because my tank wasn't large enough. The oscars eventually killed the JD, ate my pleco and any other fish I put in there after. If it were me I think I'd go with three to start unless you're planning on upgrading or trading them in once they grow? I couldn't bare to trade mine in they really grow on you. Mine recognized me the moment I came near the tank and would play with me, I used to feed them by hand and pet them, man, I miss those fish.

Oh good! Try to find a 180gal if you want six of them. The bigger the better when it comes to these guys

I have to get my own house for that but I plan on getting one. Who knows, I may find myself with some breeeing pairs

 

[Mlani]

Oh that would be cool! Baby oscars! I haven't heard a lot about how they'd be with fry, the character they showed with me when I had mine, I would think they'd be very attentive parents? Then again they will eat anything that fits in their mouths though?

 

[jwh0818]

Well they do mouth brood and they will chew food up to feed the fry so I think its okay

How's your pleco doing today?
