Hey all
Just wanted to talk about my experiences with my Oscar called Moby so far, and also want to hear your own experiences. He is in a 100 gallon tank ( 48" L x 20" D x 24" H)
He is by far the most personable fish I have ever owned. Every time I'm in the room, he is straight to the front of the glass to greet me (probably in the hopes that I feed him) and he always follows me across the room. I don't give in to his begging, as I have seen how greedy Oscars can be, and I don't wanna overfeed him.
I tend to feed him a diet of hikarI Cichlid gold, freeze dried krill, frozen krill. Whenever I get some freeze dried krill out, he is so eager to get it at times, his head starts popping out the water lol and sometimes even jumps out the water to get the krill (I try not to do that too often, so as not to hurt him on the lid) . When I first had him, he was quite shy and scared of humans, but now he gladly eats out my hand and is always curious whenever my hand is in the tank when reorganising decor or doing a water change. He even eats out of fellow family members hands, so if I ever go away, he won't starve, as I have seen stories of Oscars refusing to eat food not given by their owners.
Also when doing a water change, he always comes up to the gravel cleaner to see what it is, and sometimes ever pecks at the cleaner, not sure whether to see what it is or as a way to say to me, to get it out his tank aha.
So what's your experience with Oscars folks?
