Tanya81  Fish Addict Posts: 633 Kudos: 419 Votes: 37 Registered: 27-Jun-2003   | I wouldnt, because they may end up getting eaten, as oscars seem to grow faster than acaras... I have personal experience with both fish, just not ever in the same tank!!!! I wouldn't risk your money or the time. That would be one expensive fishy meal! 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair) |
