Thank you. She lives with a frontosa and a flagtail prochilodus currently in a 140g. They get along good. Shes not aggressive at all

Very cool!! Am I correct to assume you are using BDBS for substrate? I am working on setting up a 125 and have pretty much decided to go with that for substrate, but of course until I buy it in going to be second guessing myself

She must look very impressive!

Are they an easy fish to breed?

Is that something you would be looking to do?

No im not looking to breed there are too many oscars on the market and they lay a ton of eggs at a time. They would be really hard to get rid of

Black diamond blasting sand. Its a product that's sold by tractor supply co. Its like 10$ a 50lb bag and is a really good substrate
