i bought a baby platinum oscar yesterday and so far hes just been sitting in one part of the tank for the most of the day hes been swimming around a bit i also have a jack dempsey that ive been growing out for like 7 months hes like 5 inches and it thriving in 2 months im putting them into a 130l 3 foot tank
Do you think it might have grown faster in a 75g growout tank ? Ive got 2 juvies this week and put them in a 75g growout. They will move to a 450g tank when big enough to contend with the adult Southies..
Dude you should consider giving him a friend and that tank size is way too small dude. Poor thing got crammed in there. Your tank width and length are okay at best, but your height of the tank should be double AT LEAST. Please consider getting a better tank... Your fish will be much more happy! :)
A very good indicator that this fish is not happy or healthy is it’s color. If you’re feeding an appropriate diet and had it in an ACTUAL tank that was appropriately set up, he’d have a lovely color to him. This is just sad. These fish are not for everyone because they have enormous spatial needs, and if you cannot provide that, then you don’t need to own them.
Can anyone help me to identify what type of oscar is mine? my oscar have big not perfect like circles and in the end of that theres like a gold coloration, the seller that offered my oscar fish said its a lava oscar and i didn't believed him cuase theres no such thing as an lava oscar and for a few weeks i thought it was an tiger oscar but suddenly it started getting gold colors then idk what type of oscar fish is my oscar
Oh sh#% i didn't know that Oscars can be that big! Ihave 3 baby Oscars and a 1 Year old one in a 30g tank... I will need to buy a bigger tank after a few years lol
@@karlothegamer1131 75gal min is the the recommended size for a single Oscar. They can get up to 14in as an adult. Sadly, most pet stores don't mention this and sell the $10 fish to people who see it as a 1in juvenile and don't realize how fast it'll grow. They grow about an inch a month for the first year or so.
Well for me I will feed them goldfish, nightcrawler, cray fish from my streams, minows and shiners. I get most of my stuff from local streams but I feed them pellets as well I would go with API pellets they help alot with protein intake and it doesn't cloud up ur water if they don't eat.
From what I’ve read Oscar’s don’t like fast moving currents. Your filter should be enough just don’t fill the water up so high. There needs to be good oxygen flow.
This is a dang on shame to show him off in that itty bitty tank with a lil bit of water. Animal cruelty at its best. That’s why he coloring up when he should have been. Idiot!
Give him some high quality food thats meant for cichlids and also you can give him some koi food but only the brand koi king but also you can give him some live food or shrimp i preffer live foods and koi king cuase thats what turned my oscar into a 13 inch monster in just a few months and also give him some sun baths and dark places so hes/her color would improve
@@mr.tarkovish2587 nah, seen it done plenty of times. There’s lots of plants with very strong root systems that hold up. A large and established Val for example
This is animal abuse. Fish need hides, wood, plants, and clean water. You have provided none of that and youre showing new people that this okay. This is NOT okay. You shouldnt keep fish anymore.
Lmao. Right and wrong. At first I thought the Oscar was in quarantine until I noticed it was a sump. Smh Towards the end of the video, the Oscar was placed in a main tank. Watch the whole video.
Животные
bro the oscar is living in a sump tank☠☠☠
I love it starting my new tank
Give some live foods and shrimbs it will increase its color
I guess That's a wild Oscar
How to tell if its a wild oscar

I can't lie my local Walmart used to get the most prettiest and colorful Oscars. But then they were always sick

He is now in 200g tank with other adults 😊
The Electric Blue stay small? Striped ones.

Hi also how many gallon tank did u use for that single Oscar?
I have 4 Oscars. They are in 6 feet tank
Do you think a empty 55 tank will be good for it for atleast 4 months
it needs to have water in it

30g for just one 1 year old oscar is already not enough…
@@mr.tarkovish2587 thats why..

Have you previously kept him in the sump system?
Okay
Yes 🙂
What food do you give your oscar I need big food for mine and it seems like pellets aren't big enough
Give shrimps to your oscar , its good for them and it gives them more color
Big fella pellets from extreme! 🤙 Best big boy pellets for full size oscars

@@ViciousTigerPlayz thanks I'll check those out
@@DirtNassty thanks
I also have, 5 oscars, love them❤
❤
I have 12 and theyrs gowing too fast lol

I would like to know if an Oscar would never grow to 4 inches..yellow lab grow to tank. Electric blue.... striped....3 inch. In 15 gallons
If you have a 15gal tank and are putting an Oscar in it, you don't deserve fish.
is it necessary to put wave maker on oscar tank?
If your tank have good water flow, then no need to have wave maker.
No

I agree!! This person is an animal abuser and has NO CLUE what appropriate tank size is.
Day need a way bigger tank than the one they're in
My Oscar has not grown like this 😮 he’s still around the same size as the day I got him and it’s been since middle of April
Give him some high quality food thats meant for cichlids and also you can give him some koi food but only the brand koi king but also you can give him some live food or shrimp i preffer live foods and koi king cuase thats what turned my oscar into a 13 inch monster in just a few months and also give him some sun baths and dark places so hes/her color would improve
You kept the Oscar a bit too long in that sump compartment as for a number of weeks it looked far too big for it
Pweee ba superworm ipakain boss?
WHAT IS THE LENGHT NOW?
I will post another video soon :)
Poor fish. The tank is so small.
My 3 years old giant Oscar is close to die
Mine is very healthy💪
My Oscar now is very healthy and feeding with large pellet
They usually live up to 15 years…
Near year old..just buy Oscar baby...more than 3 gallons for him. Glo fish tank
Get it a bigger tank abusing yourself own pet fish that tank is tiny the water level is shocking how dare u post a video of animal cruelty
The music blows so hard I couldn’t get through the video sorry it totally blows and I’m sure your Oscar would agree
There's a mute button, ik its kinda hard to see
It blows but the tank size blows even more
Wat size tank
6X2.5X2
@@dailybite4u thats way too many oscars for that tank size, people like you are fish abusers.
Remove that powehead filter ... Don't put amy filter inside tank
Se parese a uno que con pe
What a shitty tanks with no plants or interesting things for a fish to live in
No plants with oscars… they will destroy them
