Hey lads, Ian here from Ireland.
I'm planning a 206 gallon 78x26x24" tank for my main home office. The initial idea was to rear 6 Oscars there and hope that with low-ish water temp they won't get too sex-obsessed and live happy ever after.
I've been utterly in love with Oscars since I had one as a kid and now that I can afford setting up a proper tank for them, they're a must-have. But the missus says she doesn't like the way Oscars look and since she's using that office way more often than me, she does get a say... So I'm back to the drawing board.
I did some research and the notion is that in general JD's and Oscars can be mixed (despite being CA/SA) and JD EB and Albino Oscars are less aggressive than other species' variations. So a million dollar question is, would a mix of 3+3 2"-ish juveniles be a start of something that might work, given a proper tank setup? I understand there's no solid rule here, as everything hinges on individual fish's temperament.
Cheers,
