I'm making this thread for trauma cases on oscars. If you have an Oscar who suffered trauma and died or survived, if you would share it for reference to others, please do. Thanks.

I had 2 O's reach sexual maturity, and She(I think) kicked the living SHITE out of Him(again I think)... She left a huge spot on his side that took all "flesh" off of the are and he didn't move or eat for 4 days.. He did survive, and he is finally getting his scales and color back. I felt so sorry for him.

thats a nasty looking injury nicki, glad he (?) is getting better though

Nothing serious here.
My rehomed Vieja kept getting at my O, and my red bashed against the lid.
The right side was black and blue, and a gash in his back.



Fins severed and bitten of to the base.


No excesive damage,and all has healed within 2 months.

Ow, can't wait for Paul to chime in here, for i've seen some bad injuries in his photo colllection...

hey Noddy, just checked-in and saw your call
my Survivor lost his left gill plate muscle, thus i need to separate them.
he healed in no time and now fighting again
thanks to the non-stop swimming of big pangasius, they don't have enough
time to severely hurt each other

see that white spot on the gill plate, muscle in that area had been removed

Can't post pics now but I would really love to show y'all the head wounds of my O. It won't heal because he keeps @*#&$%! it up again and again. Pisses me off.
