Some fish and aquarium plants don t go together. Many aquarium hobbyists love Oscars because they are unique among freshwater aquarium fish species. They seem to get along fairly well and are as happy as can be.

If you re thinking of adding oscars to your planted tank keep these important facts in mind.

Oscar fish Oscars are a type of cichlid and they grow large up to 18 inches long. Though in the tank with him is a pleco ghost which is the same size. I had to give ghost plenty of hiding places because an oscar will gut out a pleco s belly. So i don t suggest putting another fish in the tank with an oscar if the tank is smaller than a 55 gal or smaller though the tank looks nicer when there are more fish in it. Aquarium lights and caps are a must for an oscar fish aquarium oscar fish can jump and they are known to jump to certain death from an aquarium without a lid. Prevent the oscars from jumping. One trick to prevent oscar fish from jumping out of the aquarium is to keep the bottom of the aquarium lid clean . Oscars need good water quality as do most aquarium fish species. Poor water quality will spark noticeable mood changes discoloration and lack of appetite. It is important to pick up on these indicators early test the water and complete a water change.

Oscars can become angry and aggressive when housed with other species of aquarium fish. Therefore your oscar fish tank should have a good quality aquarium heater. Oscars grow up to 10 inches and a 50-gallon aquarium will prove to be very small for 2 adult fish at this size. Keeping oscar fish for a very long time will mean providing them with enough large living space to thrive in as they grow large very quickly For fish keepers who have got especially large aquariums the sump filter is often a good alternative to a canister filter. As i ve already mentioned eheim do produce a canister filter which is capable of filtering a 1200 l aquarium which is approximately 300 gallons. However once you start getting even bigger four or 500 gallons then a canister filter is just not going to Jim your oscar must have been lovely to watch i wish i could have some big fish like oscars or jack dempseys. But i couldn t keep one in a 50 gallon tank - i d like to get like a 200-300 gallon tank for it These fish are huge and they need huge tanks too.

So that s why i can t get this fish. And even if i had a 200-300 gallon tank Best fish for planted aquariums. There are a variety of different fish and other organisms which can be kept in planted tanks.
