mt drea mtank is probably an Oscar tank with one Oscar of every morph just like your thumbnail in it along with some other CA cichlids like uaru, choclate , true arrot etc
Great video! I can relate to a silver coloured fish being killed by them…. They killed my leichardti 😢. Also scientific species names are written in lower case with the genus in capitals 😊
Thank you so much! What's crazy here is I had the exact same situation when these oscars were much smaller, after purchasing a new leichardti and adding it to the tank the oscars pretty much destroyed it in 1 hour which I didn't expect at all. They also tried to have a go at a pair of barramundi I purchased that were much larger than them, luckily I was able to pull the Barra out in time!
@@BodgieFromStraya and yet I got the idea of having them together after watching Micksfish uk years ago where he had Oscar’s with an Asian and silver arowanas
Love oscars they were one of my first fish.Little story i went away for a couple of days over a weekend only to return home and found one of my Oscars on the floor.He had knock off a 6mm glass lid from the tank and landed on the floor.He was covered in dirt and hair and crusty.I thought he was dead but i threw him in the tank and he kicked.Within a couple of hours he was swimming.I n a couple of days he was eating again.
Hahaha that is so cool! I actually had a similar situation a few years back when I had a small Oscar basically spook itself and nosedive into the sand and wedge itself under a rock. I was doing a water change and freaked out after I couldn't find the Oscar. Must have spent 5 minutes searching for it until I saw the tiniest bit of tail stick out of the sand. I still don't comprehend how but it managed to bury itself fully in the sand haha!
Thank you! I think it's worth the mention just to save people from getting a fish that'll live life in poor health. Less people buy them, the less they are bred.
I used to have a 400 L tank with three tiger oscars eel tail catfish my friend's would come over and stare at that tank four hours and swore that all the fish had personalities like dogs😅
Love seeing young Aussie fish keepers in the hobby and also on the tube good onya bro 👍
Thank you so much mate!
@@BodgieFromStraya your a young fish keeper glad to see that you guys love the hobby I keep the Malasian Discus and Malawi haps
Oh 2 of my personal favourites! Haps are just next level, so much variety and honestly I find them 100% more interesting than peacocks
Great guide very in depth
Thank you Blake!

oh that would be awesome! I feel like eventually I might do a mixed Oscar tank but I just love the natural/wild ones too much for the moment haha.
