Very nice looking! :clap:

The midas is doing just fine with the Oscars.

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

you could probably fit some convicts in there, that would add a lot of activity to the tank, and they wouldnt really bother the big fish. :)

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

I was thinking the same. A male convict and maybe a firemouth.

What would you do with the two dead Oscars and midas? :tongue:
Those cons can be pretty mean...

Breeding Convicts can make life a living hell for any and all other occupants of the tank. Total joke on the kill a big Oscar, though I bet it would go toe to toe with it. :ibox:

I have always hoped that the oscars would pair up and have babies. I think the pleco would end up eating the eggs though.

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

Thats one thing I like about Osars that you can have a pair that get along and hang out just fine even if they are not a breeding pair. Very seldom does this seem to work with other large cichlids on my wish list.

It took a while to find a pair that would get along. The first albino I had just about killed the tiger oscar. Petsmart let me drop the tiger oscar off overnight so he didn't get killed. The next day I got rid of the albino and sadly the tiger. I went and decided to buy an adult oscar but it ended up not being fun. I wanted to see the fish grow up. So the following day I called cayes to see if they still had my tiger oscar and they did so I went and saved him. I was then in no rush to get another oscar so I got the pleco instead. When things calmed down I went searching and found my albino at a place called family pet. He/she was a lot bigger and they lip locked a couple times but that hasn't happened in a very long time. They are rarely ever apart now days. The smaller tiger oscar is the one who is in charge lol.
