Midas Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 What about some kind of dither fish such as silver dollars or tinfoil barbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 what I have with my oscars giant gourami severums firemouth cichlids btw I have discovered that you can keep guppies with severums, they will leave adult guppies alone but will eat the fry. Hence instant live food and perfect for breeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holiday Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Most tank mates for an Oscar are found by trial and error, as each oscar has it's own personality. It won't usually like it's new tank mates, it depends on wether he decides to let him be or not. It helps if you get something slighty bigger than him for a start and he will generally leave them alone, unless they get in his way of course.

andyman98 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 would a giant gourami and or an arowana fit in a 4ft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 //would a giant gourami and or an arowana fit in a 4ft? not for an extended period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 do you need somewhere for them to go? I can spare some tank space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holiday Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 would a giant gourami and or an arowana fit in a 4ft? Maybe if you were using the tank as a serving platter! :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman98 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 what size tank would a giant gourami need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 min of 5ftx2ft for one fish and thats pushing the minimum realistically. You could keep on in a 4 footer on its own though but thats cruel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 yeah, I'd say 6ftx2ft really. Have you seen a fully grown one andyman98? They're massive fish. Pretty ugly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
