Ok guys and girls i have question. I am getting an albino oscar today he is smaller then my TO but not by much. I always wanted and albino oscar so like grab up on this one before mine gets real big. what is best way to intrduce them and do you think he be ok cause he bit smaller. i know he wont fit in my oscar mouth lol. i have the room for the two but is it better just to keep one or get the albino see how they work out if not i can take one one and separate. thanks

all u can do is put it in the tank and see if they get along! if they dont either separate for a bit and reintroduce, or return one.

will i devider work and where can u get them at. i thought my hood has two openings so i can feed them separate etc that way i can see if they get along thru the glass and will that work then after while remove the glass and hope by then comfortable with each other.

you might want to try rearranging the decor in the tank to eliminate any already established territories. then add the new oscar first and the older one a little later. this might help but there are no guarantees on it. just be prepared to seperate them if need be.


as for a divider the best and easiest to use is eggcrate flourencent light covers. it allow water to flow freely through it and is strong enough to keep the oscars apart.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

x2 with necro if u rearrange the terro's it will disaurientate the current fish and they will be more botherd about finding new terro's rather than concentrating all of their efferts on yr new oscar
