I currently have 3 tanks, one tank for my two tiger oscars, one tank for my albino oscar, and one tank for my flower horn fish, and we are purchasing a salt water tank from a friend, my husband said we need to go down to 2 tanks only. So I have to get rid of my oscar fish and my flower horn. I am soo bummed! My oscar fish is the coolest fish ever. Is it totally lame for me to be attached to my fish? Oscar fish are one of the smartest fish in the world. Someone is coming by to take him tomorrow. Is it silly that I am bummed out that I have to give him up?

I really like oscars though, they are so rad. They are happy to see you. If I am in the kitchen he is facing the kitchen swimming around happily, if I go towards the kitchen table, he faces that way as well and starts swimming around happily. And watching oscars eat, is awesome! I bring them home fish from the fish store about once or twice a month and they eat them in one gulp! It is really cool. Saltwater fish are just there, you know? They arent very interesting.

I cant put him with the other oscars, he originally was in that tank, but they started picking on the poor guy. So I had to get another tank just for him. =(

no,,oscar fishes are super nice, you shouldnt let anyone take it..sucks, cant you just put it together with the other oscars ?, but dont forget oscars tend to jump out of their tank so be careful when opening the lid, lol, as if you didnt already know this..dont get rid of it if you love it...even if its a fish its still a living animal and people get attached to their pets..totally normal..fight for your pet..

they are settling in maximum probable... all are diverse in how long it takes to come back around. 4 Oscars?.... it rather is 150g minimum (absolute minimum) for the person fish with incredible filtration required.Be arranged. first factor you ought to constantly do with any Oscar habit is verify water high quality... it on no account hurts to know if some thing is off there.Ammonia/nitrite constantly 0 and nitrates <10 (decrease the greater effectual). secure to declare that by way of including 2 5" Oscar to a tank already containing 2 Oscars you have had an ammonia and nitrite spike.... so verify the water first factor.
