I have a tiger oscar, that was a rescue from craigslist...
today I brought home another oscar (confirmed female).. I dunno what sex the one I already had is.. but I have been told he is a male (I dunno how they knew that)
anyway.. my current oscar is not taking very kindly to the new addition.. he is chasing her around, and biting her.. he as left a couple of small marks-- but nothing too severe
how long should I let them work it out before I need to intervene and take her out of his tank??
btw the new female is accutally about 3 inches larger than the current oscar-- and a whole lot wider... but she is the one getting beat up which I thought was strange
