Electric Yellows, yes or no? 2 years, 5 months ago #67819

Went to my LFS today and noticed in his Oscar display tank a bright yellow fish with a black line running along its top fins, it was only about a quater of the size of the O's in the tank whitch were all about 12".
It was a really nice looking fish and I wouldn't mind getting 1 or 2 to add if compatibillity isn't an issue, any other advice would also be helpfull, like how big do they get etc.
thanks for any help.

LMAO... look at the photo of the month pics...#1 is a picture of an Oscar with an electric yellow that became LUNCH!! I would advise against it!

I have several electric yellows, in my Malawi tank, they are great! They get about 5 inches long and are very active!

doesnt surprise me, I reckon its just in the tank as a target fish for the o"s to chase, since they have 3 12" O's in a 4ft tank!

yep I agree, and i'm not trying to defend him but at least the water is well looked after and pristine, on the other hand it does kinda look like 3 elephants squeezed into a small garage

electric yellows are my favorite looking fish... i love oscars and all... but EY's are my fav, thats just how it is. ive had 5 of them and my oscar ate them all. at 17 bucks a pop they are hella expensive feeders. i would definatly NOT reccomend keeping them together, i had luck with it untill the o realized they tasted good... they were in the same tank for 6 months... then in a week it ate all but one... and the last one lived a long time... then just a few weeks ago i watched my O eat the last one... i was SO pissed off... one of the few times i really had sadness over a fish... ><
if nicki comes thru with her breeding program i should have some more of them in my newly vacated 55
