How can one fish make you so angry

[Guyb93]

I'm sorry, but I'm kind of growing to like the little bugger

He has all his own character and personality even if its eating all his tankmates for fun at your annoyance and expenses!



Got a feeling the Oscar will even eat the piranhas too even if you had a large enough tank for them
From what I've heard about them in the past from other keepers, believe it or not, piranhas are quite docile, will only attack sick or dying livestock, rarely will they attack healthy livestock!
(unless of course they're starving or something I suppose!)

Quite a boring fish specie actually imho
Of course aside from the ferocious attacks that one sees on nature documentaries its quite enthralling to watch!!

It’s real personality , from what iv witnessed today it could easily add my electric blue acara to its murder list but it lives with them no issue , I really wanna chase it with my net for a bit it’s really annoyed me lol

Sounds like mature fish are your only option for adding dither stock . Or you could get more cichlids

Blimey really surprised it’s taken silver dollars nightmare! Always the risk with these fish though - wouldn’t have believed a 7 inch fish could take a 4 inch fish that gulper catfish territory!!!

I suppose the question you have to ask now is how safe are your acaras when the oscar starts packing on some size...

The moment I lose one of those he will have to be rehomed because that’s saying to me nothing can go with him other than big fish my hope of a semi biotope is gone lol
