Welcome to the site

How big is your tank?

Does this behavior happen when you approach the tank? Most Oscars get very excitable when they think they are going to be fed, I think that is probably what your Oscar is doing

Yeah, I'm afraid that your tank is nowhere near big enough for the Oscars you've got. I wish you could come to my place and see my Oscars, I think you would be pretty shocked at how big they are. Do yourself and your fish a big favour and take all but one of your fish back to where you got them, or get yourself a new aquarium, a much bigger one.

God, I hate situations like this, there's nothing worse than telling someone that they will need to re-home their fish. However, what's the point of us running a support forum if we are not going to be honest with people?

I hope you don't hate us now?

Welcome to the site
The Boss and the others are right hun, you'll have more fish than water in your tank pretty soon...I got started the same way. Hubby brought home these cute tiny little fishies and pretty soon we had monsters ! This forum is the best place you'll find for guidance and the people here really care. Stick with us and learn and laugh
If you can't beat them...arrange to have them beaten!
