I saw this video and though it's not at all in line with any advice given on OFL, I still decided to post it!


So, what do you think of this Oscar community?
Can a community like this last long or is this disaster waiting to happen?

I would also put my money on disaster!

I bet that is a 30% daily water change... And an FX5 running on that tank...

Wow, all I can think is WOW!!

Those Oscars look to be around 6 inches at the moment. The tank is just not big enough for that amount of Oscar. I would be extremely surprised if this particular individual runs into water quality problems at the moment. I can't believe that these people are still posting videos like this on YouTube, they obviously haven't done any research into keeping Oscars

I lost count at 9 oscars 11 fish total, put me right if I missed any. i had 4 oscars 2small clowns a parrot in my 150g and was changing 30% twice a wk to keep nitrates below 30pph. i was also using 3 large bags of nitrate remover and some wks if I messed up the feeding and gave a little too much it meant another small change. i also filtered my water change so the new water was nitrate free. 3 a wk drove me mad. I am very keen but have a life too. I can't see anyone managing to maintain it in good condition and wounder if it was set up just for the photo shoot or is a shop display?

Good on ya Boss for voicing our veiws.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.

if that tank is for real and for good keeps, it will only last for 3 days.
after that...fishes will die one by one...DISASTER! with few minutes view,
how many times one tries to bully the other...how much more for 24 hours.

yeah, i voted for DISASTER.
