So sorry for your loss

Very sorry to hear of your loss

sorry for the lost...but you must read and get some important info
if you wish to get a new oscar/s....

really sorry about yr loss

however i agree with paul, really check out yr tank etc as that last thing u want is to replace yr o's and have the same thing happened

first let me say sorry about your loss.
Second what happened?
Can we please have some more info as to what caused his death?

Last time my Tiger O died with a swollen eye or pop eye disease, then this morning my large male O died. Its so sad to see your O lying on the bottom of the pond coz I have a indoor pond. Ive seen my O's are fighting,biting and chasing each other and they injured themselves. During the night Ive always heard water splashing in my pond.

sorry for your loss

How can you tell male from female?

he was probably part of a breeding pair.
Usually it's very hard to differentiate between sexes, even impossible from just looking at the fish.

oscar fish are supposed to sleep at night. if they keep splashing at night time,

are trying to escape from something.

any idea or any tank mate like plecs?
