Oscar Wierd Act........

[M.R Otter]

howdy partners,well you see I have two 50 gallons tanks that are close to each other.The first thank contains guppys,Zebra Danios,Tiger barbs,mollys,opaline gouramis and a crayfish,the other tank contains an adult oscar fish.The Oscar fish in the other tank keep's looking and staring at the other tank for hours and it does not eat anything.so the problem is WHY IS MY OSCAR FISH STARING AT THE OTHER TANK FOR HOURS WITHOUT EATING ANYTHING?

How long have you had him? Water parameters please? And I have to tell you that a 50g tank isnt large enough for an adult Oscar to live in permanently, so I hope you plan to upgrade in the very near future.

It would seem to me that your Oscar is looking at your other tank as live food, that's probably why he isn't eating any prepared food. Although I think as Minx says we need your water stats and you will need a larger tank for him.

Here is my water states:
ammonia: 0ppm
nitrites: 0ppm
nitrates: 10-20ppm

I've been having this oscar fish ever sice he was an egg.You can say that I had breeded his parents.

Yes,im planning to move this Oscar to the 310 gallon tank but I have a little problem...the fishes in that tank are kind of aggressive..this are the fishes that are in 310 gallon:
1-2Green terrors
2-2Jaguar Cichlids
3-2flower horns
4-some feeder fish(guppys-tiger barbs-platys-young mollies and zebra danios)

And the biggest problem is that I saw the two jaguar cichlids courting that is for sure bad for the other fishes and the oscar fish if I put it in that tank.
I know the tank is big but I'm worried.

You have every reason to worry, two Managuense will most likely kill all tank mates if they do pair up and breed. You do not have a big enough tank for all of these fish if they pair up.
