Oscar Fish

thanks for the info. I heard oscars are very aggressive. Is it true?

Hi bro,

I think agression depends largely on individual fishes.. But i would say they are semi agressive. Mine do chase off other fishes but they have never attacked. As long the comm fishes are big enough, fast enough and are able to fend for themselves, it shouldnt be a problem at all.. However oscars may occasionally fight with one another.. minor injuries like scales drop only..

Oscars are lovely fishes, they respond very well .
But a well covered lid is a must .
