I love my Oscar. I got her for my husband and she has slowly become my fish. She has such a personality, I couldn’t believe it. She reacts to us walking into the room, dances, plays, does barrel rolls and somersaults over her mopani wood. We got her when she was around 1-1.5 inches and had to start her in a 10 gallon and it was amazing seeing her grow and transition into her big girl tank. Definitely my favorite cichlid.

Oscars are so gorgeous. Literally my favorite fish in the world. And these wildtype/tiger oscars are the best. Lovely footage. They used to be called the velvet cichlid, and you can see why. That smooth look of those dark scales is amazing.

They grow up so fast! My jack Dempsey was the same size when I got her and that was almost a year and a half ago. Now she is 6 to 7 inches and is as thick as a brick. Keep up the good content you guys are the best!

Great video! I have an 8/9 month albino and a 3/4 month like Nessie. Best fish I have. The Albino is almost my biggest fish already and I have many established fish. Big blood parrot feuds a bit with them but seems to be harmless.

SUPER interesting vid!!! i've been so curious about seeing in real time some of the adult sizes, but also how much the patterns and stuff might shift. i know it does for betta, koi, and even pet birds. so i never try to assume it'll stay the same.

Absolutely stunning oscar my oscar rebel is about a foot now unfortunately he was abused before I got him by his previous owners my brother sent me a picture of him when he was in the pet store asking me if I wanted him I said Absolutely he's much much happier now and very healthy and grown so much since I've had him he is my favourite chiclid Absolutely love Oscars

Very nice

Hey bud, could you briefly explain your experience with the electric blue JD’s. I’m in the UK & I’ve got 3 juveniles that are really struggling to to grow. My American chichlid started with all juveniles. All fishes are doing great & growing. The electric blues are timid, slow to respond to food, they’ve simply been getting out competed by the others. Any tips?

I just took delivery of a Tiger Oscar sold as 7.5cm from TropCo here in UK but actually 11-12cm I'm glad actually bigger as I can see what my other 3" Albino Tiger will look like in a short while. Already eaten pellets and mealworms in my 40 gallon QT

oscars are one of the most interactive fishes in the aquarium .. Got my first oscar lasted for 3 years 7 months .. I miss him a lot. He's Omar. Nice shirt, Troy.

Ive always wanted one of these!!! Someday :P :)

Another awesome video Troy. My Oscar in my 190 gallon is getting to about 4 inches now (after about 4 months) and likes to jump at food a little. Wondering will I need to weight the lid soon. Can I just ask, is there any worries Nessie could leap out of the 180 gallon, with it not having a lid on top?

@CichlidBros

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! The 180 actually does have an acrylic top to it, so it does have a firm lid. Kinda hard to see it from certain angles. I'd definitely recommend a firm lid with Oscars!

My biggest Oscar was 30+cm in nine month. Every oscar has a different growth rate, I bought four oscar at the same size, but now after nine month, they have a different size... 30cm, 27cm, 25cm, and 22cm. Same diet and live in the same aquarium.

Hello and thanks for the video on growth rate. My Oscar Billy ( tiger and Betty an albino) have been with me for 14 months now and have been all the delightful things that have been attached to them. Billy is 16.5 “ long and Betty 10 “. But I have a large problem, they have out grown all the tanks they lived in. They were in my 75 gal. But the tank has lost its integrity due to the constant rearranging and banging on the glass. So I had to put them back in the 55 gallon. At the moment a 100 gallon tank and the support items that are needed are not in my budget as my wife constantly reminds me. I’ve sold all my twenties and stands, but it was a little short. So that’s were we are.

Yes, Oscar is beautiful fish. My Oscar is 3 years old.

Is it a good idea to keep oscars with Turtles? I have my oscar which is around 4 - 4.5 inch and my turtle is around 5 inch? Looking towards the community for some suggestions. Love the Oscar growth rate video helped me a lot to get a better understanding of the fish.

I started off wanting a Oscar tank but ultimately ended up with a African cichlid and peacock one of my og fish a convict which is doing pretty well Added her after my initial fish had died just (for testing) but I haven’t lost but two fish since I love my tank but really would like a bigger one but maybe somewhere down the road

So I have been in the saltwater side of the hobby for 18 years and have decided to plunge neck deep into freshwater! This is my question….if I gave you a 650 gallon tank (8x3x4) what would be your dream stocking? I am not near as well versed in freshwater but some fish that peak my interest to this point are Oscar’s, a green terror, arowana maybe a blood parrot or two. I would love to here your opinion on a dream stocking for a large tank! Thanks!!

There's not many videos on the parachromis loisellei and the information on the Internet is very confusing 🤔 some say species only others say mixed I say mixed as I have them with other American cichlids with no problems 😊 would love to hear a good spotlight on this fish and maybe others might find it interesting too as there's not a video on utube which covers it 😉

A lovely fish.

My Oscars tops off around 9 inches the first year. About 14 inches at 2 years.

I miss my Oscar 27 years ago when I kept 1 now Im starting again a new big tank everytime I see Oscars I want 1 😁

Ive got a 450g tank build that I restocked after taking down my 1000g maintank. I had got 2 True Parrots as juvies about a year or so ago. 1 has far, outgrown the other and has a crappy attitude. I had to seperate them, so the smaller Parrot is ok. It may be a female ? I just picked up 2 juvenile Tiger Oscars for this new tank. I added 6 Green Severum a week ago, but have the Oscars in a 75g growout tank. This video gives me an aprox, time for them to grow before adding them into the 450 as well. Ive sub'd to your channel and think its good stuff. Thanks

I had just got a Red Oscar and Tiger Oscar 7 months ago. They were both at 1 1/2" small. I got them small to grow out with Jack Dempseys and Red Texas and Vieja and not be too big fpr Convicts or Firemouths. Well, 7 months later they are at 9" and fat. I had to put them into 450g with older Southies.. WaterPigs is the perfect name for them.
