OSCARS......

[TML29]

Target fish for oscars include silver dollars, bucktoothed tetras, convicts and giant danios. I tried silver dollars for a while since my two baby oscars kept fighting and it worked. The silver dollars took a bit of damage but after a day or so but they were too fast for the Oscars once they realized running was their best defense. Your Oscars will get bored with chasing target fish quickly but will continue to do so occasionally. With other fish mentioned above, that was just what I heard from other people. One thing about silver dollars is that they will eat your plants.

Also, ideal temperate for Oscars should be between 74-78 although there will be slight variations if you look around.

I forgot...If you house convicts with oscars, make sure you put in only one single convict or both convicts have to be the same sex because they will become very agressive when they mate.

Convicts are just aggressive period. I keep a lone pink convict in my tank and he's constantly battling it with well, everything. He has some particularly viscous battles with my JD who is twice his size.

ONE OF MY OSCARS LAST NIGHT WAS TRYING TO MOVE A BIG BIT OF FLAT ROCK AFTER HAVING ANOTHER LIPLOCK SESSION WITH ITS MATE. VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH!!

Sounds like you're gonna have some more fish in the tank very soon! (the flat rock is an indication - she's setting it up to lay her eggs on.)
