to be honest with ya everyone is goin to tell u this "THAT TANK IS WAY OVERCROWED" and is true but you MAYBE have luck like my friend he have all that but instead the female dempsey he have a GT and some different fishes... anyway he had problems one time with a war in his tank (his tank was a 85gal) everyone was against the green terror, dempsey n oscar :thud: cause they were the bigger ones.... but it didnt finished in any dead luckily....so i dont know what to suggest ya good luck... just wanted to let ya know.. :huh:

I think im going to be the first one to outright say it: That tank is much too overcrowded. A lot of people keep just an oscar in a tank that size. Even though it may not kill the other fish it will quite probably terrorise them and not let them get their proper ammount of food.

species tanks don't usually have problems with fish not getting enough food, It's the other species of fish that will cause the problems with the oscars not getting enough food.
