Peaceful fish? The Oscar in our Koi pond has tried to bite me several times |
|||
when I was unscrewing the drain filter to clean it. Fortunately I was wearing reef walkers when it bit at my foot. It didn't hurt, but scared the heck out of me the first time it happened. Now I go in the pond with a broom handle that I use to keep the Oscar away from me while I'm cleaning the filter. It will bite the broom handle several times before backing away and staying put. |

:That is the general opinion, I'd say. In my own experience, compared to other big cichlids they're so docile it's like they were constantly sedated - unless it's feeding time. [[User:OlofE|OlofE]] 14:07, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC) |

oscars are great fish they will get really really big so if you got diffrent fish that are really tiny that you want too keep i suggest that you get them in a diffrent tank. [[User:OlofE|OlofE]] |

I'm going to suggest that a cleanup tag be added to this article. I've been reading about fish for a while on Wikipedia today and the article is short with an error in the second sentence (which I'm going to correct). I think the quality of the article could be much better. Also correcting "There is two species" to "There ARE two species" because I believe that is correct.

Clean up? I'm not sure it really needs one. This page should be a genus only (ie: for the genus Astronotus) page - the information on [[Astronotus ocellatus]] (the oscar) should probably go on it's own page (which already exists) and could indeed do with clean up. As A. crassipinnis isnt kept much by aquarists I cant see any reason to add "care" information in this section. Thoughts? [[User:MidgleyDJ|MidgleyDJ]] 07:48, 28 May 2006 (UTC) |

I have raised several Oscars over the years, and with lots of success. Recently I had a small "red" jump out of its tank and die. What experience has been had with jumping, in regards to these fish? Unfortunately the cover on my tank had been removed for maintenance, and my belief they they were not particularly "jumpers", allowed me to experience this unguarded moment.
