what do you guys think are more entertaining oscars or goldfish my girlfriend was trying to tell me that oscars are as boring as goldfish so what do you guys think???

I have never kept goldfish. However, a lot of people who keep koi who are closely related will tell you that they will actually let you touch them and they will feed straight out of your hand once they get to know you.

it depends on one preference. i love fishes that keeps on moving, thus
i have ID sharks.... but i love oscar more because they have characters...
gold fish is a beauty too... they swim gracefully wiggling their tails in
every move.

boring???? i don't know what is the basis...

I keep Oscars and Goldfish. I'd say when it comes to eating, my Oscars are much more fun to watch. They play with there food, and they grow fast so you can feed them big food sooner than later. My goldfish are kinda... non-intelligent, they take about 5 minutes to find the food, even thought they're right next to it. I've heard that full sized goldfish can be just as personable Oscars though.

lol i have oscars, goldfish, and koi... i prefer the oscar, i dunno the koi are nice too, and goldfish are just boring... i notice as far as brains go the oscar has a hell of alot more personality, expecially at feeding time.

For me the oscar seems to display some kind of intelligence towards its surrroundings that you will not get from a goldfish.For example mine always sleeps where the filter outlet is even if i change the the tank so the outlet is on the other side of the tank the oscar will find this and sleep there non of my other fish act like this.
The only other fish i have kept which seemed to move about and act this way was a few years ago when i kept some discus.

I have a small goldfish tank (it was my g-friends idea but i maintain and feed them so its mine). I know about keeping them in too small a tank but i aint getting them a bigger tank. The thing I like about them is that they just dont care, i put my hand in to do tank maintanence and they just ignore it.
