I have 2 oscars and 8 silver dollars in a bare bottom 150 gal 5x2x2, with overkill filtration........I would never keep a single oscar in anything less than 120 gal 4x2x2.......they say 75 gal min for 1 oscar, some say 50 gal min, but im experienced enough in keeping these fish, and they get huge. A 14 inch fish needs adequate space.....you wouldnt buy a dog and lock it in a small room for its life, but people thinks its ok to do it to fish....sad
I'm getting a 5x2x2 tank soon as well but I don't see the appeal of just 1 fish in a tank, imma put some thicc bois I'm there with my future Oscar like severums and my blood partot
Yes arowanas can be good tank mates but for the love of god don’t do it though if it’s a Jardini. If it’s much smaller for a little while ok but otherwise certainly not.
Have paired Oscars 3 years old .about 10 inches .have never fed feeders and my fish are very healthy .run external and internal filters .6 ft tank .water changes two to three times per week .fed frozen whole foods and the occasional bloodworm.My fish are not aggressive ..more like sooks.please don't buy these fish if not prepared to take care of them..🙂
Head in the hole lol that made me laugh lol 1:49 i was like "is this an ostrich or an oscar"? Lol That poor thing was trying to eat that crayfish for like 10 minutes lol
@@studo9217 Most freshwater fish do not eat other fish and most thrive on the environment around them. That said, many carnivorous fish actually eat insects and do not solely rely on other fish. Wild fish are also very different than the cheap, neglected goldfish at pet stores. It is dangerous for the Oscar to feed on live fish as well as contribute to aggression issues. Overall it is a shit practice and not in the best interest of the Oscar.
No way too small. Oscars get huge make a lot of waste and are territorial. You're looking at a 125 -150 for two minimum and that's assuming they get along.
Hi, love your advice, I have two Oscar babies. I want to know if I can keep them in a 78 gallon tank with two firemouths. Late next year I will probably get a bigger tank but is that enough for them
My Oscar just now grabbed big plastic pipe holder i immediately grabbed him and put my finger in his mouth and remove that holder but In this process he got injured at the top fin. Right now he is really quite he is eating food but still he is not that active which he was before need help
I love how you say PH constant is best. I'm sick of hearing you need this PH for this fish any difference will kill the fish... I hate the idea of chasing ends up causing more stress for the fish.
@@dripblue8128 You're welcome! I should set up a massive oscar tank. My last Oscar didn't end well though bad case of ich and then the tank broke on me sadly
?if I go out and buy 150 gl tank would it be okay just to let the fish just grow in that tank z or should I grow him out in a smaller tank and then move him into the bigger tank.
0:49, there is no balance between your tank size and number of Oscars
way overstocked.
Casual
ugh sad, feeding all the live crayfish.
I was told to never feed them land based animals or am I wrong.
"Head in the Hole Disease" Watch out for that one!

What is that solid gold Oscar in your tank
Dude I have been looking everywhere for a good oscar vid. Thanks a ton!
There's literally dozens on UA-cam but ok lmao
Tank raised plecos taste the best when they get big
1:49 Head in the Hole disease eh? That's a new one 🤣
Its not i did it to my fish
@@MickNJ1979 You mean hole in the head.
Yeah, it makes you say things backwards lol.

you can't cycle a tank in a week in my opinion , helpful vids
Depends. You can’t cycle a filter in a week, but if you have an established filter you can “cycle a tank” instantly.
Beautiful Fish🐠🐋🐟.. Great video🎥.. Thanks for all the information very helpful. Keep posting
Warm regards
The UnknownManCub 👍😎
Thanks! I am back to make more videos. I appreciate the support.

2 to 3 times a week? Bro how do you find the time?
Sound unnecessarily expensive
IM PUTTING MY 3 JUVINILE IN MY 29 GALLONS AND NEXT YEAR IM PUTTING THEM IN MY MOMS POND DAT ISNT BEING USED ANYMORE
Well i have 1 baby oscar in a 75gallon tank with a goldfish
My Oscar lives with a Shubunkin
Keep them coming bro
Head in the hole lol that made me laugh lol 1:49 i was like "is this an ostrich or an oscar"? Lol That poor thing was trying to eat that crayfish for like 10 minutes lol
So can I breed guppies and feed them to my oscars?
Yes, as they are bred in your tanks you know they aren’t sick, and won’t make your Oscars sick.
I don't understand how to check my PH coming from my well? I live out in the county.
Get an API freshwater master test kit. It reads PH.
Oscars go from extremely aggressive to calm my Oscar killed a 11 inch tilapia who grew up with him .. also oscars got teeth in their mouth
Do a video on the Asian Arowana next pls!
Good idea! I love keeping Asian Arowanas. =)
Just subbed to your channel man keep them coming
Dude you speak so much💁
you should never feed fish to other fish. fed them pond pellets. that in humane to the fish
Im curious what fish eat in the wild?

Can I get a 65 Gallon for 2 Oscars. Dimension (40Lx16Bx24H)
No way too small. Oscars get huge make a lot of waste and are territorial. You're looking at a 125 -150 for two minimum and that's assuming they get along.
The Oscar is with a jardni arowana not Asian
That's what I said.. He's a moron
@@tattoohick why is he a moron? Is it because he doesn’t preach the cruel practice of live feeding?
Hi, love your advice, I have two Oscar babies. I want to know if I can keep them in a 78 gallon tank with two firemouths. Late next year I will probably get a bigger tank but is that enough for them
Oh how howibwle!!! its not like feeder fish get eaten all the time in the wild
Dont feed your fish live fish! Feeder fish have a life too and are raised cruely in small tanks! Feed pellets or frozen food
That's literally what he was saying most of the video lmao
More video? Plz
Love channel
Thank you!
Can they live alone
Nice video.
Nice
How many gallon your fish tank ?
It’s a jardini not a Asian arowana
That is not an Asian arawana
An Arowana is only a good tank mate for oscars if you have a 300 gallon set up! good vid bro👍
You gotta have like a 8 foot tank for those guys
hahaha Xd the way the Oscar ate and spit on the shell that can't be healthy....
Yeah I do!
the only "feeder fish" ill ever buy are my goldfish i have in my goldfish tank. and i love them
And you have a pfp of my little pony so your opinion is invalid.
Please help me out. I have a 42in x 18in x 24in (lxbxh) which is a 78.5 us gallons. Can I keep 2 oscars?
Not comfortably for them.
Sure, it's a little tight. I would not go with any less.
Sir, can I keep 1 pair adult Oscar fish in 3 feet tank aquarium?
Hell no. 6 feet long tank for 2 or 4 foot for 1
Are they aggressive when cleaning the tank? Is hand biting an issue? You said their teeth are in their gills, so I'm guessing it's not a big deal.
God no. They are gentle giants and if they are biting your hand when you clean they are food deprived most likely.
My Oscar just now grabbed big plastic pipe holder i immediately grabbed him and put my finger in his mouth and remove that holder but In this process he got injured at the top fin. Right now he is really quite he is eating food but still he is not that active which he was before need help
Rip
Really sorry to hear that! How did things work out?
@@dripblue8128 he is goooood now he is father of 100 Oscars 😂
great vid mate but it aint no asian arowana its a gulf saratoga (jardini)
Thank you, I've mainly kept Asian Arowanas (Silver/Red) so the clarification helps.
hey man do u answer comments?
I was on a hiatus but I am back now. Thank's for being here.
I love how you say PH constant is best. I'm sick of hearing you need this PH for this fish any difference will kill the fish... I hate the idea of chasing ends up causing more stress for the fish.
yep . keeping things simple is key.
Thanks Tim! I appreciate you watching.
@@dripblue8128 You're welcome! I should set up a massive oscar tank. My last Oscar didn't end well though bad case of ich and then the tank broke on me sadly
Oscars can get up to 18 inches. The tiger Oscar in your clip with the crayfish was 15 inches.
In the wild on steroids maybe lmao
@@JacobDaDJ no at public aquariums. They're usually wild caiught and old.
Nice video
Thanks very Good Video
Plz support me😊✌
Beautiful tank
J
Plz support me😊✌
I'm eating mine when they get big
Fuck that
Hole in the head
lol would not suggest
Can a red tail cat get a long with Oscars?
Sure. While it’s small. Don’t be surprised if the Oscar is eventually eaten though when the size difference gets too great.
Oscar guy you seem pretty smart imma go to your channel
Oh gawd I had Oscars and one was so damn mean!!
Haha yeah, they tend to be moody.
What mic do you use to make the video if you don't mind?
@coralfish12g
?if I go out and buy 150 gl tank would it be okay just to let the fish just grow in that tank z or should I grow him out in a smaller tank and then move him into the bigger tank.
It's great if you can start them off in a bigger tank. 150 g is great!
Takes longer than a week to cycle a tank.
Weirdo
