LOL - Oscars are pussycats compared to a GT

It's not that an Oscar lacks the muscle to stand up to a GT - It's the GT's attitude that wins the argument, (and they don't take prisoners).

But - as 420 says - fish are also individuals, so there's no promises about anything.

ever notice how some of the fish in cichlid tanks are chasing others, and the rest are being chased? i think the fish that get chased might tend to be more tolerant of other fish because theyre so happy to be the only on of them in the tank.

the BP kinda looks like hes about ready to crap himself though.:D

A lot of very nasty fish will go just fine if the tankmates look and act very differently. By the way animal lover, Oscar's are not agressive at all, I kept them with discus with no problem at all and they ware not "used to eachother" but were introduced as adults.
