Oscars like current?

[drobbins27]

I added a Powerhead 802 to my 90g today, just to see if my fish like it. I tihnk the barbs like it but im not sure about my Oscars. Do they like current?

An Oscar should barely even notice the current. There is no harm in trying. If he is avoiding the area where current is strongest then you know he is not thrilled with it.

one of my oscars loves to play in the outlet of the internal filter, but none of the others seem bothered. by the way arn't you worried that your barbs are going to end up as lunch for your oscars?

Nope, they are holding their own

My oscars never had a problem with current in my tank. Once they got big they didn't even seem to notice my 2 powerheads and the fluval 304 flowing into the 46g.
