Right some of you already know that I now unwittingly have an Oscar in with a Texas!!
The aggression of the texas has escalated in the last day to proportions where I am now getting concerned for the safety of my Oscar.
A new tank is on its way purely for the texas alone - but it wont be here for about another 10-12 days (due to stupid paypal echeques).
So I need to move one or the other out of the tank they are in.
Option 1. Place Oscar in the severum tanks which consists of 2 sevs, 2 geos, 2 acaras, 8 congo tetras - not idea but he shows no sign of aggression - YET! - but the sev's may to him!
Option 2 - Place oscar in hospital tank of only 7 gallons - not happy with this option as I think its too small even for a temp measure.
Option 3 - Put texas in 7 gallon hospital tank.
Option 4 - place one or the other in a divided betta tank, put betta in hospital tank. Although this still only affords them 5g on space but more turning room. And hope like hell the divider stays put (it is siliconed into place so it should!)
Oscar is 4", Texas is 6" - advice would be appreciated as i dont want to leave them another night as last night Oscar took hammering.
