My Oscar Keeps Flaring At The Glass And Rocks.

[PufferFishRule]

Oscars are wierd anyways...i had one awhile back...he was a funny fella but sounds normal to me

 

[Mystix212]

yeah what are your chances of breeding oscars anyway? Unless you have 4+ in a 240G. Forget it.

Sounds like standard Oscar behaviour and nothing to worry about. How old is the fish and how big?
If the fish is close to or over 10" then the Oscar is now sexually mature, age should be about 1 1/2 to 2 years old.

yeah that sounds about right for hercules's

last saw him maybe 3/4 months ago and he was getting on for 10" then so i'm sure he'll be over it now and the age sounds right too.

thanx for all the help neway guys.



sidenote - miss wiggles, polly moved into the big tank last wknd with herc and everyone and im glad to say it couldnt of gone better!

shed been getting a bit cranky in her own tank (attacking my hand whilst i was cleaning the filter lol) so i waited till i knew id be around for atleast the day to keep an eye on her (the whole weekend in this case) and moved her over.

she fitted in right away and herc only had a small problem with her and thats cos she seemed to like his anal fin LOL.

alls he did then tho was open up his mouth at her. no charging or biting which was kewl.

she seems to like hearding my silver dollars too.


im keeping the 4' tank and itll stayt empty in case of emergencies but like i say, herc doesnt even look at her so i think shell be fine.

ill take some new pics later, havent taken any in ages.

excellent, glad to see it went well and she's getting on with them all.

i think her and oscar would have been fine in a bigger tank or just a different shaped one, while there's plenty of gallonage in my 350 the shape doesn't give much floor space so not much room for territories which (i think) is why they came to blows.

so glad she's happy though, means a lot to me that she's gone to such a good home

thanx, you would be proud of her the way she attacked me too lol.

really defended her home with no fear what so ever. good job she has a small mouth and could only nip. scared the crap outta me the first time tho!

yeah she can't hurt you (well maybe emotionally? lol) so you've no need to fear.

she's certainly got the balls to stand up for herself though!
