More cramped oscars stories

[Lady Hobbs]

My son and a couple of his workers showed up at my apartment for lunch today. One of his workers told me he has a 10 inch Oscar in a........(get this).........hexagon tank! sigh

I think this has got to be the most misunderstood fish in the hobby.

But they are so small and cute in the store. They got to do well in a hexagone don't they?

/end irony

You would at least think that they might possibly do a wee bit of research!Especially when it hit 5" in in first few months.

Ive seen hexes that would hold one but they are not common.

He had a 55 gallon and the Oscar could barely turn around so switched to the hex because it is wider. In other words, the fish just sits there all day unable to swim. Lordie.

Ugh. Yea thats unacceptable.

That must be one dizzy fish.It probably won't live long,no exercise.Not even enough room to get the speed up to break the tank!
