I tried two types of plants with my oscars namely Cryptocoryne balansae and Hygrophila Corymbosa and had an almost successful experience.
At the first weeks they tore up some of the long leaves of...

Sorry I couldn't edit my reply.

About adding a male sev, I think there's lower possibility for aggression in a community tank compared to when the sevs are left alone in the first place. So I...

Hi there,
Although yours is still too small but it looks like a female to me and those who have spots on the face are most likely males.

In my experience, many tiger Oscars do not develop their final pattern and coloration until they are mature. I mean they gradually color up as they are a few inches long till they get quite big. For...

Thanks for the comments everyone.


Like Andreah said, it is a 80g and I also mentioned the dimensions in last post of previous page. it is not ideal for 2 oscars.
About the landscape, I think...

Upgrade on the filtration and some more photos. :goldfish:

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Alasse, the tank is 16*24*56" (40*60*140 cm). the footprint is not as big as what I was planning for, but since it came with a very good price I took it. the...

Yeah, Oscars are big and attractive fish. :goldfish:

Hi there,
Long time no see guys! missed the AC. :22:

I recently set up a new 80g tank for old buddies. They are over 3 years old. The tiger one is the offspring of my old pair ( female in my...

I feed my oscars Hikari gold, bio-gold, and Tetra doromin sticks. a few months ago I added NLS Thera A formula to their diet and they didn't have any problem accepting it. they seem to love all of...

I have a male and a female in a planted 40g tank. my male almost do the same. not hurting the female but chasing her frequently. he's not disappointed after 1 and half a year. :hmm3grin2orange: ...

Usually the female's face is bare but male severums have some dots and patterns on the face up and around the upper lip.

Congrats! it looks great.

Deformed mouth is something almost common in oscars! many of the oscars I see do not have a perfect shaped mouth, and there's nothing you can do about it. even some of my...

She looks healthy and happy now, great job Jenn!

It's quite normal for a female, no worries!
BTW, I would add a more reputed food to her diet if possible. hikari, nls, or something.

Welcome to the AC mate.

African cichlids with oscar is not a wise combination I say.
In general, africans are not lucky enough to escape the big mouth of oscars in a bounded place for ever....

Happy Birth-day before yesterday Hobbs!!! :19:
Its late but I hope its been some happy time for you. :11:

That was really cool!!! thumbs2:

But I didn't get this: 9 years ago by 11 years old, then she's 24 now! she must have aged real fast! :hmm3grin2orange:

Thanks for the comments! thumbs2:


Well, I couldn't ID the long plant! it grows one foot per month but like the giant hygro it has lost its lower leaves. the in-water part of it has no leaf...

Thanks!

Hobbs, the name is Hygrophila corymbosa. its beautiful and grows like hell but the problem at least in my tank is that when it gets long its lower leaves die off and make it look naked. it...

And some pictures of the inhabitants.

Some new photos of the 6 months old planted 40g.

Giant hygros are blooming outside the water, and the unknown long plant is reaching the ceiling! its got so long that can't keep its balance so I...

Still great looking Oscars, Ray! lol

Then I should introduce some of my peaceful Oscars to the wild. :hmm3grin2orange:

That may help.
