How successful are Oscar fish with the eggs hatching?
Q. My oscar fish have laid loads of eggs. They have eaten some as i take it they are the "bad" eggs. Has anyone had Oscar fish that have actually successfully had the eggs hatch and is there anything i can do that will help? I mean i dont want to start interfearing with nature but does the temperature need to be altered or anything like that? Many thanks.

What is the best food to feed a tiger oscar?
Q. I am about to buy a baby tiger oscar and i was wondering what's the best thing to feed baby oscars or oscars in general?

A. It is best to keep them on a steady diet of a good pellet food, like Hikari Gold. You do need to keep their diet varied though, for this you can feed worms, crickets, other insects (you can find them but make sure they have not been in contact with pesticides and they are not poisonous), there are also beef heart recipes out their for you to make for them, I will leave a link at the bottom for you. Like already mentioned, feeder fish are a bad idea for multiple reasons. First they are usually not kept in great conditions at the stores and are a good way to give your Oscar parasites, or many other diseases that could kill you fish, or cost you money to treat. Also feeders contain an enzyme that breaks down in the fish and creates a… [cont.]

How long can my Oscar live in a 45 gallon tank?
Q. I have a 2 inch albino tiger oscar in a 45 gallon tank alone. his final tank will be a standard 75 gallon tank just for him. i would like to know how long the oscar can stay in the 45 (as i dont have enough money yet to get a 75) so my question is... at what size will the oscar be too large for the 45 gallon? how big is 8-9 months? like 7 inches or so?

A. You probably want to upgrade by the time it gets to 8", that could be 6-12 months. Some hints to save $$ and get the big tank sooner. Just buy a BIG plain glass tank and basic stand (if you cant make your own) You can use the filter from your 45gal initially, and get a 2nd bigger filter later as your Oscar grows. Dont buy expensive lights as you aren't going to have live plants in an Oscar tank. Get some simple flouro lamps from the hardware store, just so you can see your fish better. That might save you a few hundred $$, or at least spread the cost, and get the fish into a bigger tank sooner. Ian

Why is my Oscar moving the gravels into a pile in the corner?
Q. My oscar keeps getting a mouth full of gravel out of the bottom of the tank and spitting them into one corner. He has just started doing that this evening, and has been at it for a couple hours now. One spot is almost cleared to the bottom of the tank where he's made a hole from grabbing all the rocks to spit in the corner. Is there a reason he would be doing this? It's not really a small Oscar, always has th same, mostly live diet, the tank is a 55 galon and the water is fine and the fish has always been healthy. He is mainly gathering the rocks from one side where he stays at the most and making the corner pile there too. It's piled up about 6-7 inches high in the corner already, and he is still at it!

A. Nope, though Oscars will do this during mating, they more often will pick a flat rock and lay eggs on there if it's a female. Oscars just like to dig, that's how they are. I don't think it's anything you really need to worry about, it's just in thier nature, but nice to know that you are attentive to changes in thier enviroment and noting thier behaviour. I guess it's best to say kinda like a new office you get, you want to get going in your job, and you've been caught up in that, now you have time to set up that office how it makes you more comfortable?

They say it is better to get both fish young so they can grow up together so the oscar has less chance of beating up another fish. That's what I did with my 2 oscars. Got them both at around 2in.

A. There is no magic chemical for water treatment. Use something like Prime to treat new tap water and remove any residual chlorine residue that might harm your fish. It depends on your tap water wether it is needed or not, but if in doubt, USE it. It's cheap and wont harm your fish even if you didn't need to use it. No other water treatment should be needed if the tank is well maintained and the fish is healthy, and the cleaner you can keep the water, the less likely the fish is to get sick and need any treatment. Otherwise find out what your pH and hardness actually are and see if an Oscar can acclimatise to that water. Chances are it can, and will be much happier in a stable pH 8 rather than a rollercoaster tank. If your water is… [cont.]

A brief but startling cameo can do the trick, I recall that Judy Dench won her Best Actress in a Supporting Role for: Shakespeare in Love in 1998 and had barely ten minutes of screen time. Short films have their own category, I don't think that an actor in one has even been nominated, never mind won, but I'm happy to stand corrected.

How much should I feed a juvenile red oscar?
Q. How much and how often should I feed a 15cm red Oscar? And can red Oscars live in an unheated tank? How much and how often should I feed small Silver Dollars too?
Asked by Benjamin Sow - Wed Jul 22 07:24:43 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. First off, yes Oscars NEED a heated tank. Unheated tanks have dramatic temperature fluctuations that can lead to your fish suffering, they need stability. As for feeding, this is going to be down to your own discretion and depends on what you're feeding the fish. Oscar's have a bottomless appetite, so feed once or twice a day with a variety of foods and consider their stomach only actually being the size of their eye, despite the begging! Overfeeding results in internal disorders. Same goes for the Silver Dollars. Both these fish are going to grow pretty quickly.

A. You can try netting the fish.. Some times the chase will cause them to spit out wherever is in their mouth... Also lifting them out of the water in the net can get the pea out.. This can cause some stress to the fish.. But it will be ok in the end.. feeding your fish a pea really???

How do I help my tiger oscar digest the fish that he swallowed and still has hanging out of his mouth?
Q. My tiger oscar, Benny, ate my plecostomus and I think it's too big for him to digest because he has had the tail sticking out of his mouth for about ten hours now and his mouth is stuck open. I need to know what to do to help him. I'm very attached to him and don't want to lose him.

A. Mine does this too. I used to get worried that he would die. You should feed the oscar smaller feeder fish and when the oscar has it in it's mouth you walk away and make sure the room is dark so the oscar is relaxed. Do not stay in the room go out or look throught the door. This will help with the digestion of the food. You should also feed it fiber ike pectin hemicellulose and cellulose as this is fiber and fiber is the digesting mineral that will help and it will keep its stomach clean and make it live longer. Oh sorry I just rad the extra info and I thin you should switch off the lights open the tank and pull out the pleco. He will never be able to digest the pleco. Did you know that you can jump on a dead pleco and its hard skull will… [cont.]

A. This says it best: Determining Oscar Gender --- The popular answer in a discussion about sexing Oscars is that it simply cannot be done other than through dissection or observing mating. However, Oscars are rather easily sexed under certain circumstances, and experienced Oscar keepers can usually determine the correct gender at a glance. An absolutely certain sexing method is by venting, or looking at the fish's vents and comparing their size and certain other characteristics. I usually don't recommend this, because the fish needs to be removed from the aquarium and held in such a manner that the vent can be observed. Anyone who has ever tried this, and has their hands cut to pieces by the extremely sharp 2nd Dorsal, and their clothes… [cont.]
