freejoe Enthusiast Posts: 211 Kudos: 227 Votes: 756 Registered: 20-Aug-2003  | a pair of cons would not be a good idea with oscars, the oscars timid nature would not be a good senario with the aggressive behavior of a breeding pair of cons, they would terrorize the oscar to death no matter the size of it. A single convict or a sexed set of males or females should be no problem if the tank meets the size requirments. good luck Joe The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an bacon and egg breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." |

Still like stated above (hate too repeat >.< ) a pair of convicts will not do good with an oscar. Someone will be mauled and I'm taking bets it'll be the oscar  . If it is a large tank why not try some smaller (not small small  ) and less agressive cichlids? Maybe a Severum?Last edited by Tetra Fan at 16-Nov-2005 18:09 |
