My First Oscar.

[Ogrt48]

I just got him today.. I think hes really nice looking. Is he just a reg oscar or some certain kind of oscar? He's so lazy, he just lays in corners against the glass and randomly moves to another spot to lay in.

what size tank is he in?

You've got a common black Oscar and he's behaving as these wimps always do in a new home - as he grows and gets used to the tank he'll become active and more outgoing. Right now he's just a baby with over 12" to grow and it's good to have hiding spots until he shows he doesn't need them anymore.

I remember when I first got my oscar (Montie Python).. He was so small! Now one year later he is at least 10 1/2 inches long! He is so playful! Oscars are bursting with personality!

Not to long ago I bought 2 tiger oscars from my LFS, I made the mistake of putting them in with my tiger shovel nose, and within a few hours one of them had already been eated, I then moved the other to a smaller tank temperarily. I really like oscars but have heard that they can be very agressive, I havn't had it for that long. I would appreciate some addvice.

I love tiger oscars . Haven't had one since my stupid dad got rid of our last one that was 14 inches at a local pond 6 years ago. poor guy, too big for our tank and too big for my dads wallet
