This is good info. I got my first oscar and had NO clue what I was doing and shoved that poor fish into a 10 gallon tank. No worries, when he outgrew it I moved him into a 75! This was before Google, cut me some slack.

I have my 10” Oscar with a Sevrum and also a belly crawling pike. After the first week chasing them around he chilled out and they get along great now.

King oscarfish! Thanks guys for this amazing video

My all time favorite fish in the hobby ! Great video 👍🏽

I absolutely love my Oscar! She has so much personality and character. She will eat for my hand. I got her when she was about an inch long and in her first year she grew to be over 10 inches. She’s now over a foot at about a year and a half‘s worth of growth

Great Vid as Always! My Oscar Koda has grown & he has been jumping up and hitting the glass lid , so im having to make a custom acrylic lid now, with feeding doors to make it easier to feed him instead of lifting the entire lid 👍

I have 3 Oscars in my tank, Fatty John, Mister Y and Oscarito, very distinct personalities, great interaction, astonishing colours, great fish!

beautiful Oscar one of the nicest I've seen

Beautiful tank.

My all time favorite fish, especially the albino tiger oscar. I use to have an albino tiger oscar, pike cichlid, convict cichlid, tilapia butterkofri and a red blood parrot cichlid together. Definitely would like to do a set up like that again.

Lovely video

Another great video, you guys deserve some more attention from the fishtube community. I have a question about your 180, Troy. How did you go about stocking that tank with those cichlids in order to keep them so chill with each other? Did you put certain fish in before others? Or at different sizes? Or something else? You've inspired me to do something similar when I settle down at my own place in the future.

Thank you - really appreciate that! Most of the geos, severums and acaras are relatively peaceful, and I also grew them up together over the past two years. I added the Oscar recently as a little guy so that the others had a head start. The Oscar will soon be the biggest in the tank though!

Oh, I had three tinfoil barbs in the tank with the Oscar as well. It got crazy. Tinfoil barbs get huge!

I just got the last wild Oscar that they had at aquarium adventure but he's always hiding sometimes with tail bent or on his side and when he's out he's only in the back of the tank water parameters look good I'm not sure what else I can do to help him any ideas?

Would love to see another update on this guy soon. I want to get an Oscar for the 210g I’m working on (small for the same reasons you mentioned) I’m still on the fence as I have some smaller clown loaches still. Some fish will eat smaller fish cuz it fits, and others will, unless they’re full or get tired of chasing. Would be interesting to know where the Oscar lies with this. In my experience, I have a venustus that will eat no matter how full he gets so he would chase a small fish till it was in his belly. However my green terror/severums give up after awhile. (2 different tanks btw 😊)

Want one so much but think about it first.

I have a 3 inch osccar which is very very mean he was pecking at my 7 inch albino common pleco what can i put in the tank with him?

Do male and female Oscars grow to the same size? If not is there any way to tell what gender at a few inches?

What is the yellow fish?

You’re right I got my first Oscar a lul while back with a 25 gallon it grew so quickly so I got a 50 n he’s just getting bigger n bigger now I’m getting a 150 he’s a tiger Oscar to namez goon he pretty aggressive

Do I feed them live fish?

I can have Bare bottom tanks for oscars? Because they are really messy

I was given a albino tiger ocsar when i was 15 by my uncle unfortunately he didnt tell me much about their care needs(he probably wasnt educated on it) i had my one oscar in like between a 30 to 50 gal tank and sadly being a irresponsible teenager i didnt take care of him to well i did give him away to someone who could care for him better after like a year i want to try again and do better i loved my oscar

I have a few small fish with my Oscar other South Americans and they are fine but I think I got lucky haha

I would recommend upgrading as he grows

I have a tiger Oscar's and one red Oscar

I had Twin Oscars and sadly one of them passed away and I did not think a Fish could get so depressed in my entire life. To this day he is still struggling and not the Fish he once was. His whole mannerism is different and I think he feels lonely in his 150 Gallon even with the Red-Eared Slider and Red Tailed Shark whom he barely interacts with anymore like he used to with his brother. I recently got another Oscar and put in a grow out Tank and hopefully that cheers him up when I eventually introduce him.

I know this video is old lol.. I did an insane amount of research before I got mine earlier this week (baby)… his name is Squirt yes ironic I love it.. and he is an a 75 gal right now.. but I do plan on getting a 125+ gal tank soon.

Very nice!

You need at lest a 55gal tank for 1 oscar. Might be abel too put 2 in a 75 gal tank

When I bought my oscar he was as big as a guppy, now i have him 7 months and he is around 8inch. Started with a 55, now a 95 gallon. I keep him with 2 angles, 2 convicts, 2 blue acara's and one pleco. I also have one botia striata swimming with him who easily fits in his mouth but he doesn't even care about it.. Also i tried to feed him livefood once (a guppy) and big worms, but he doesn't eat it. I think my big boy afraid of them because he turns very very yellow and plays for dead.. 😅 He also doesn't like dead whitefish and prawns/shrimps. What he loves to eat are livin earthworms and maggots, dried mealworms and pellets (especially bugbites.) When I bought him, I imediately fell in love with him and I can assure: he got a home forever. 🤩

I NEED HELP I got a 125 gallon tank put a few rocks in with some gravel with some fake logs and branches I bought a 6-7 inch oscar and it does not want to eat he is active and swims around the tank but won't eat pellets or shrimp or worms I've tried with the lights on and the lights off I also just got 2 arowana in the tank as well both 4 inches and they also won't eat can anyone help

I lost Burnt my Oscar over this weekend. I went on vacation and left an auto pet feeder for my 120... it dumped all the food and he either gorged himself or the parameters skyrocketed :(

Hi !! Green terrors and Oscars are AWESOME fish !! I did have that combo aswell and they were my favorite. I would suggest keeping the green terror alone for now in the 55 gallon as it will grow fast and be crammed into the 55 on its own let alone putting in an oscar. If you could upgrade to a 75 gallon in like 6 months you could pull it off. But keeping those 2 in a 55 gallon for a year is a no no :) Hope this helps :)

I hv an Oscar since he was an inch, since I had him it was like owning a pest. I saw KZread videos like these as motivation to get one and I did but all he does is lay on his side, give attitude and don’t eat. It’s not like I’m not giving him what he needs. He’s in a 100gal pond with good filtration and a pleco. I wish he was like the Oscar’s I see everyone else have. Sooner or later I’m gonna sell him

I don’t know what I did to upset my Oscar but he is TERRIFIED of me. He cowers in the corner behind a rock when ever im near the tank. I have to feed him and step back or he won’t go after it.

I had an Oscar in a 75 gallon. It was still too small. If I still had him I would have doubled up to 150 gallon. That’s a good minimum I would say. They produce a lot of waste.
